The family of five were on their way to VivoCity Shopping Centre on the Seletar Expressway (SLE) when the car in front of them suddenly hit the brakes.
To avoid colliding into the black car in front, the 37-year-old husband swerved their car to the left. Unfortunately, their vehicle knocked into a divider and made a 360-degree turn.
There was a motorcycle nearby that the man reportedly tried to avoid hitting.
“I was worried that we would kill or injure the motorcyclist on the leftmost lane and tried my best to avoid colliding into him.
“It was fortunate our vehicle didn’t hit him.”
