Car nearly crashes into man and girl
A speeding car narrowly missed two pedestrians on a walkway on Saturday.
In a Facebook video shared by user Yu Howard on Tuesday, a red car is seen driving onto a sheltered walkway outside De La Salle School in Choa Chu Kang at 7.40am.
The car, which initially appears to be out of control, swerves at the last moment to miss the man and the girl on the pavement along Choa Chu Kang Street 52.
The car misses the man by inches and crashes into a pillar of the walkway, uprooting it.
