Car hits boy, 11, on kick scooter at Ang Mo Kio pedestrian crossing, driver, 42, assisting with investigations

A 42-year-old driver is assisting authorities with their investigation into a recent accident in which he allegedly struck an 11-year-old boy on a kick scooter at a pedestrian crossing in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10, reported Mothership. The police confirmed they were notified of the incident on September 22 around 7:55pm, and ongoing investigations are currently in progress.

Video footage obtained by SG Road Vigilante on Facebook shows the pedestrian boy, identified as an 11-year-old, crossing the road when the green man pedestrian crossing signal was displayed. The footage revealed that a white Honda Crossroad car, executing a discretionary right turn, failed to yield to the pedestrian. The car is seen hitting the boy on the video, according to the source.

According to the boy's mother, he lost his phone during the accident, and the driver allegedly refused to allow the boy to use his phone or call his family. Instead, the driver allegedly escorted the boy to the void deck of his residential block but did not bring him to his home, reports Mothership. It was reported that someone else helped the youth return home. The boy's mother stated that he was fine after a doctor's visit, but the boy reportedly started vomiting the following day.
