Lucky Plaza accident: CCTV footage emerges of moments before fatal crash
SINGAPORE: Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage purportedly showing the scene outside Lucky Plaza just before Sunday's fatal car crash has emerged.
The video, which shows the incident from four different camera angles, began circulating on social media on Monday (Dec 30) afternoon. The footage appears to be a recording of a CCTV monitor, which indicates the location as Nutmeg Link Bridge.
In the top left screen, a dark-coloured car can be seen leaving the drop-off point outside the Lucky Plaza apartment block along Nutmeg Road and making a U-turn at the T-junction. The car then accelerates across the two-lane road, mounting the kerb and onto the footpath.

In the next screen, the car is seen ploughing into a group of people, some of them sitting on the footpath, and crashing into a railing.
The CCTV clip, which appears to have been sped up, then shows the car landing on a service road leading out of Lucky Plaza's car park.
Two women were killed in the accident and four others injured.
