Some of us live and die by our phones – for this woman, the latter could have nearly happened.
A woman crossing Tan Quee Lan Street in Bugis narrowly avoided a car accident because she was looking at her phone, according to a video uploaded by SG Road Vigilante to Facebook on Tuesday (Feb 24).
“Head down looking at mobile phone. Ear piece on, totally have no idea she is a step away from the hospital,” the post reads.
In the dashcam footage from the driver’s vehicle, the driver avoids a FedEx van to his left on the single-lane road, hugging the right side of the lane.
Abruptly, a woman walks out from the left, in front of the FedEx van, visibly engrossed in her phone.
Slamming the brakes, the driver blares his horn at the woman.
