The benefit of youth may be to take blows and get right back on your feet \u2014 but a car accident?<\/p>\n
A young cyclist was sent flying after being struck by a car in Punggol but he was able to stand up and appeared to apologise to the driver, according to a video uploaded to Facebook group SG Road Vigilante on Tuesday (June 16).<\/p>\n
In the footage of the incident, which took place just before midnight on Tuesday, a teenager dressed in a black T-shirt and black shorts can be seen riding his bicycle across a pedestrian crossing just after the lights turn green in favour of traffic.<\/p>\n
A black saloon car on the leftmost lane accelerates and collides with the boy, who is sent flying onto the grass kerb.<\/p>\n
His bicycle rolls off screen, while an object, believed to be the car’s license plate, shoots up into the air before landing on the right lane.<\/p>\n
Despite the apparent severity of the accident, the boy immediately gets to his feet after orientating himself and jogs towards the car.<\/p>\n
The driver steps out and the boy speaks with the latter, appearing to apologise for his mistake by raising both his hands and also bowing to the driver.<\/p>\n
The driver gets back into the car and the boy walks offscreen as the video ends.<\/p>\n
The accompanying caption stated: “I witnessed a young boy riding a fixie bicycle beat the pedestrian red light and get knocked down by a car”.<\/p>\n
“Immediately after the collision, the boy got up quickly and approached the driver, apologising and admitting that it was his fault for crossing against the red light.”<\/p>\n
The poster said the car’s number plate was also detached and landed on the road after the impact.<\/p>\n
“After the driver left, I noticed a few minutes later that the boy had blood on his face, neck, and legs. I got out of my car and checked on him, asking if he was alright.<\/p>\n
“He told me that he was okay. I then gave him some tissue (paper) to help clean the blood from his face and legs.”<\/p>\n
The poster said he was sharing the information in case the boy’s family wanted to identify the driver involved in the accident.<\/p>\n
