A 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drug offences following a collision involving his Mercedes-Benz on Guillemard Road in Geylang on October 20. Police reported the vehicle struck a lamppost before coming to a stop. During a search of the car, officers discovered drug paraphernalia, leading to the driver’s detention.
The incident occurred in the early evening, with witnesses reporting the car lost control and crashed into the lamppost. Emergency services arrived promptly and ensured the driver was not injured. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the crash and the nature of the drug-related items found.
This is not the first time a vehicle has been involved in an accident on Guillemard Road. In 2022, a similar incident saw a car veer off the road and damage a nearby wall. While no fatalities were reported in that case, the repeated incidents have raised concerns about road safety in the area. Local officials have since urged drivers to exercise caution, particularly during peak hours.
