Child dashes out into road, while another kid trails behind on scooter
It was a close shave for a family of three who narrowly avoided tragedy.
A video posted by Facebook page Roads.sg shows how a driver had a near-accident with a young girl who suddenly dashed out onto the road.
A woman, presumably the mother, can be seen chasing after the child and stopping her. The car also manages to stop in time.
The woman then crosses the road with the young girl while holding her hand out to apologise to the driver.
A little boy on a scooter is also seen riding across the road, catching up with the woman on the other side.
The incident occurred on Saturday morning (Dec 11) as the driver was turning into Dempsey Road from Holland Road.
The driver said in the video caption: "Luckily, I managed to brake fully just in time. (This is) a reminder to other drivers on the dangerous junction near Dempsey Hill, where young children may come out of nowhere without proper accompaniment by parents."
