Man, 20, allegedly drove against traffic in Jurong West, hit car & van, mounted kerb, etomidate detected in blood sample
He is one of two men to be charged with driving dangerously under the influence of drugs in separate cases.
Two men, aged 20 and 35, are set to face court on September 3, 2026, for their alleged involvement in two separate incidents of dangerous driving while under the influence of drugs. The first incident occurred on October 28, 2025, in Jurong West, where the 20-year-old driver allegedly drove against traffic, collided with a car and a van, and mounted a center divider kerb.
Etomidate was detected in his blood sample. The man faces charges of driving under the influence of drugs and dangerous driving. The second incident took place on November 26, 2025, in Choa Chu Kang, involving the 35-year-old driver who also allegedly drove against the flow of traffic, causing other road users to slow down. Like the first case, etomidate was detected in his blood sample and he faces the same charges.
Offenses related to drug driving can result in fines between S$2,000 and S$10,000, imprisonment of up to 12 months, disqualification from driving, or a combination of these penalties. Dangerous driving as a serious offense carries similar penalties, with an additional fine not exceeding S$5,000 or a jail term not exceeding 12 months.
