  "account": "A 24-year-old man is assisting the police with investigations into a hit-and-run accident that occurred in Little India on the evening of November 4, according to reports. The incident involved four cars and a lorry along Syed Alwi Road, with the man being the driver of one of the cars involved.\n\nOn November 5, the police announced they had been alerted to the accident around 6:30pm. Eyewitnesses have provided accounts of the collision, with one describing a car hitting multiple parked vehicles before fleeing the scene. Photos of the accident show a scratched-up vehicle with a broken front light and a missing front tire.\n\nOne of the car owners, identified as Chen, a 25-year-old financial consultant, reported that he had parked his car at around 1pm and only discovered the damage when he returned at 7pm. He stated he did not hear the collision and expressed concern over the potential repair costs and inconvenience to his work.\n\nOther car owners reported being unaware of the accident until notified by the police. One such individual was shopping nearby, while a third was at work and only learned of the incident later.",
