  "account": "On the evening of September 22, a 42-year-old man narrowly avoided a head-on collision with an oncoming car near the crossroads of Boundary Road and Serangoon Central. The incident was captured on an Instagram video by @eugeneng83. According to the video, Eugene Ng, the driver of the first car in line at a red light, had stopped his vehicle when a white car from the opposite direction suddenly approached him. The video shows Ng swiftly maneuvering his car out of harm's way, just seconds before the white car passed by. Ng believes the driver failed to stop at the red light due to the presence of cars turning right, causing his vehicle to enter the opposite flow of traffic. He reported the incident to the traffic police on September 23 after reviewing his dashcam footage. In the video's caption, Ng expressed his gratitude for being able to react in time to avoid a severe collision, stating that he did not have enough time to sound the horn, identify the car's license plate, or process the event fully.",
