When you’re on the road and you hit someone with your vehicle, there are two ways in which you can respond:
- Get out of your vehicle and check if they’re okay
- Literally anything but speed up and drive away from the accident site
So, naturally, one Mercedes driver sped off and drove away after a bike slammed into him.
Oh, and I did mention that he beat a red light as well?
Bike Rider Collided with Grey Mercedes and Flew Off the Bike at Henderson Rd; Driver of Grey Mercedes Continued Driving
A video of an accident involving a grey Mercedes and a motorcyclist is angering netizens on social media.
Footage of the accident was shared on the Facebook group ROADS.sg.
According to ROADS.sg, the accident occurred on Wednesday (31 March) at around 6.40pm at the junction between Henderson Road and Jalan Bukit Merah.
The short, 16-second video beings with a bus travelling across a junction just as the traffic light turns red.
Four seconds later, a grey Mercedes suddenly emerges and races across the junction, even though the traffic light was red.
Unsurprisingly, this leads to an accident.
Just as the car accelerates across the junction, the traffic light for the perpendicular lanes turns green, and vehicles on both sides start to move.
Consequently, a biker on one lane smashes into the grey Mercedes just before the Mercedes reaches the other side.
As a result of the impact, the biker is flung from his bike and falls violently onto the road. Fortunately, he manages to get up straight away.
Instead of stopping to check if the biker is injured, the driver of the Mercedes simply continues driving.

The extent of the biker’s injuries is still unclear.
