Audi driver confronts lorry driver in middle of Thomson Road, police investigations ongoing
They had an expletive-laden exchange.
Two men, aged 35 and 52, are assisting police with their investigations into a road rage incident that occurred on Sep. 1 in Singapore, specifically allegations under the Protection from Harassment Act 2014 and voluntarily causing hurt. A video uploaded by SG Road Vigilante showed an Audi driver and a lorry driver stopped in the middle of Thomson Road, verbally abusing each other.
The police received a call for assistance around 3:50pm that day, and the 52-year-old lorry driver was conscious when taken to the hospital. Dashcam footage revealed the lorry driver was driving in the middle lane and had an expletive-laden exchange with the car in front. The Audi driver then approached the lorry, asking why the lorry driver had pointed his middle finger at him.
The lorry driver claimed he couldn't stop in the middle of the road and instructed the Audi not to speak to him that way. The altercation continued until a scuffle was heard off-camera. Another video filmed by the lorry driver showed the Audi driver attempting to snatch the lorry's recording device and then standing in front of the Audi, making phone calls while the Audi driver continued to scold him.
The video sparked divided opinions, with some noting that the full footage is needed to understand the incident's cause.
