A 34-year-old van driver was arrested on New Year’s Day for reckless driving and possessing items suspected to be controlled drugs, after he attempted to evade the police, reversing and swerving across lanes as several police vehicles gave chase.
Multiple videos of the chase surfaced online, including one posted on Jan 1 by TikTok user @kp0ds which garnered over 457,200 views.
The 22-second clip shows the van reversing across lanes as a traffic police outrider moves towards the vehicle. The van then speeds off, making an illegal U-turn and driving against traffic.
Passengers in the vehicle filming the chase, amused at the unusual sight, engage in a spirited commentary on the van’s movements.
“Where are you going sir? No where to go la [sic]…” the accompanying caption reads.
Another video which received over 399,400 views, filmed by user @_.yan.xiaolong._, shows the van speeding along a two-way street, making a U-turn and driving off with traffic police in pursuit.
The crash was also documented by Facebook account @SGRV, as the vehicle was seen accelerating toward a grass patch and crashing into the slope.
