An eyewitness, 28-year-old Leow Rong Sheng, said that he was at home when he heard an unusually loud bang and saw a car overturned on the road opposite his flat.



The insurance agent said he immediately called the ambulance and went down to take a look.

"The ambulance arrived, but there were no casualties at the scene," Mr Leow said.

"According to one man whom I believe witnessed the accident, he said that there were two people in the overturned car and they fled the scene after escaping from the car.



"That same man stayed till the police arrived to provide information on what he saw."



He added that the ambulance took only five to six minutes to reach the accident scene.
