The driver of the white SUV also explained to Shin Min that he was waiting in front of the traffic light when the accident happened, as he initially wanted to turn right to Hougang Avenue 4 to pick up some goods.
However, he became implicated in the accident and collided with the black car, Shin Min reported the driver as saying.
