SINGAPORE – A 37-year-old man was taken to the hospital after he was hit by a car at a pedestrian crossing in Aljunied.

The accident took place at 5.15pm on April 21 at the junction of Aljunied Road and Sims Drive, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said.

The male pedestrian was taken conscious to Changi General Hospital.

In video footage put up on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page, a man is seen waiting at a pedestrian crossing at a traffic junction. He takes a step forward, pauses, then decides to cross – all the while with the red man signal still on.

A red car then approaches the crossing and hits him, sending him flying and landing a distance away.

Police investigations are ongoing.
