Mayhem on the Road: Car Meets Wall in Tampines
What Went Down
On the asphalt scene of Block 718, Tampines Street 72, a 62‑year‑old driver rattled his Toyota Crown straight into a neighbor’s wall, leaving a dent that looks like a graveyard from the 20th century.
Timeline (Without the Dread)
- 2:12 p.m. – Police receive the emergency call.
- Instant rescue – The wounded engine is towed away, leaving the wall to mourn its new “weird pillar”.
- Driver arrives at the hospital still conscious, proving that brakes are not the only thing in play.
Social Media Reaction
The 23‑second clip that went viral has over 260 likes and a flurry of shares, turning a pothole into a pop‑culture moment. People are laughing, but also thinking: “Is this a house or a wall with attitude?”
Public Concerns
Netizens not only question the driver’s dancing skills, but also the structural integrity of the building. After a wall that looks like a “V‑shaped caution sign”, customers hope the next repair won’t require a whole renovation.
Bottom Line
While it’s tough to turn a domino effect of malfunction into a headline, the event reminds us that sometimes a crash of fate goes beyond a flat or a car—it stalls the neighborhood into a story worth sharing.
