Police on the Trail of Two Drug Offenders After a Night of Chaos
Friday’s Fatal Dash
On Friday night, Feb 12, a 35‑year‑old driver broke the speed limit on the Pan‑Island Expressway (PIE) just before reaching the Changi Airport bend. The Traffic Police raised a red flag to bring him to a halt, but he made a dramatic exit, racing toward Lorong 2 Toa Payoh.
- At about 11:55 PM, he slammed a 25‑year‑old woman walking across a pedestrian crossing on Lorong 1.
- The car hit a road divider, scattered the front end, and the driver lost control.
- Within minutes, the driver and two passengers sprinted away on foot.
Survivor’s Truth
The injured woman was still conscious when she was rushed to the hospital. A short clip from the “SG Road Vigilante” Facebook group shows the aftermath: a dude being tackled by a uniformed officer while the woman wearing a white top darts out of frame. The black sedan, now a wreck on the divider, lies in evidence‑making silence.
Arrest in the Blink of an Eye
While the men were slipping away, officers secured the 32‑year‑old woman aboard—she’s on the bench for drug‑related charges. Police have now identified the driver and a 28‑year‑old male passenger and are tightening the net around them.
Next Steps
- Investigations continue in full force.
- The authorities have pledged rapid follow‑up to locate the two fugitives.
- Anyone with information is urged to contact the local police.
Stay tuned; the chase is far from over.
