Man allegedly suffers seizure and crashes into Simei bus stop
A 53-year-old man was taken to hospital after his car crashed through a railing and into a bus stop along Simei Road on Aug 26.
In videos posted on Facebook, a white car had crashed into a bus stop outside the Metta School.
According to a witness's account in the My Home in Simei Facebook group, medics and police officers were knocking on the windows of the car after it crashed through a central divider railing at about 4.30pm.
In a clip that has since been taken down, the driver appears to be having a seizure before the car suddenly accelerates towards the bus stop and crashes into a concrete bollard.
Another video shows Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers carrying the driver out of the car and onto a stretcher.
Debris is strewn all over the road and a firefighter is seen picking up a part of the car's front bumper and moving it onto the central divider.
