  "account": "A 46-year-old man is aiding police inquiries following a vehicle collision along East Coast Road around 1 a.m. on October 25. The incident was reported on Telegram and ROADS.sg's Facebook page. In a video circulating online, a man wearing a red shirt is heard arguing with another individual behind the camera. The recording claimed the man in red was the driver of one of the vehicles. At first, the recording person believed the driver to be intoxicated; however, he later stated the man was holding a vape pen. The person filming recounted that the driver had rear-ended a parked vehicle and nearly struck someone on the sidewalk. A damaged section of a wheel and front bumper was visible on a white car positioned on the roadside. The man in red demanded that the driver cease arguing, sit down, and maintain a safe distance. The recording individual approached the driver, allegedly dragging him from his car. When questioned by Mothership, the police confirmed they were called to the scene at 1 a.m. on October 25 in relation to an accident involving two cars on East Coast Road. No injuries were reported. The police added that the 46-year-old driver is currently assisting with the investigation into the offense of driving without due care and attention. Ongoing police investigations are taking place.",
