A male car driver had to be rescued from his car wreckage after an accident involving his vehicle and another car in Kovan on Thursday (Sept 10) night.<\/p>\n
He was later seen being arrested at the scene by police officers and led onto a police van.<\/p>\n
The incident happened at about 11.50pm at the junction of Upper Serangoon Road and Hougang Street 21.<\/p>\n
When AsiaOne arrived at the scene at about 12.20am on Friday, the man had just been rescued by Singapore Civil Defence Force firefighters using rescue equipment.<\/p>\n
A traffic light with a “No U-turn” signage mounted on it laid fallen across two lanes, with a visible dent at the lower-third area of the pole.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Debris were strewn across two lanes of the road in the direction towards Hougang, and on one lane of the carriageway towards Braddell Road.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At least four police fast response cars, one fire engine and an ambulance were present at the scene.<\/p>\n
Several police officers were seen around the male car driver as paramedics assessed his condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, other police officers, wearing surgical gloves, were seen searching the car which had flipped onto its right side.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old appeared dazed as officers questioned him.<\/p>\n
Traffic Police officers, who later arrived in two expressway patrol cars, were seen measuring the distance of debris and marks on the road surface.<\/p>\n
Shortly after 2am, police officers handcuffed the male driver and led him to a waiting police van. A tow truck began the process of righting and towing the car off at around the same time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the police confirmed that the man was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs.<\/p>\n
They added that a vaporiser found in the man’s possession was also seized and the vape-related offence has been referred to the Health Sciences Authority.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Based on AsiaOne’s observations at the scene and the agencies involved in ongoing investigations, it is believed that the man had allegedly used an etomidate-laced vaporiser, also known as Kpods.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, this will have to be confirmed by HSA through testing. Investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
