Didn't oppies already say that the victim was a kid?

Interesting... the article mentions that the accident happened at the junction of Dunearn Road and Shelford Road.

But if you check Google Maps (or if you've been to that place), you will recognize that where the police tent was deployed was far away from that spot. The honeycomb design of the MRT station's overhead bridge.

If the car did come out of Shelford Road, it still doesn't explain why the boy's body flew 'upstream' along Dunearn Road, against the flow of traffic, and landed 150m away from where the accident had supposedly happened.

Jaywalking? What was a 64 year old man doing on the right side of the road with a big longkang in the middle? And the overhead bridge is barely 100 metres away.

A man was killed in an accident near Tan Kah Kee MRT station in Dunearn Road on Sunday.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the accident at the junction of Dunearn Road and Shelford Road at 2.05pm.

One person was pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic. Another person was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and two people were taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, the SCDF said.

The Straits Times has contacted the police for comment.

When ST arrived at the scene at 3.30pm, a huge traffic jam had built up leading to the accident site, and a section of lane one had been blocked off with traffic cones.

A police tent could be seen on the grass patch next to lane one, with a silver BMW 3 Series car several metres in front of it. The car’s rear windscreen was broken and debris lined the side of the road.

A driver who declined to be named told ST that he drove past the site of the accident at 2.15pm. He saw a body lying near the driver’s side of the car in lane one, and a severed arm in lane three.

The front windscreen on the driver’s side of the car was broken,” he said. “I was shocked. I feel sad for the victim.”

Security officer Syed Musa, 38, who was in his friend’s car, said they were stuck in the jam for about 30 minutes and went past the accident site at around 3.30pm.

“My wife saw a man, (whom we) believed to be the driver of the car, standing near a tree and being attended to by the paramedics. He seemed to be in a state of shock,” he said.

The Land Transport Authority said in a Twitter post that the traffic congestion stretched up to Eng Neo Avenue.
