There’s this road that bends right around my neighborhood, Sin Ming Avenue. Apparently this area was said to be a cemetery in the olden times. Coincidentally I’ve seen a lot of accidents and near-misses on that stretch of road. I’ve seen a Mercedes mount the footpath (almost missing the tree) and a car doing a 180 degree skid and hitting the center divider.
On that stretch of road, there’s a T-junction that extends to Sin Ming Walk. I’ve seen a lorry bashing up the rear of a car and also a car hitting a bike with pillion on it at night, with a victim cursing and swearing at the driver.
Today at about 1pm, yet a similar accident has occurred right on that junction:
It looks like the taxi was not able to react on the on-coming biker. Despite having bad experiences with taxi drivers on the roads, I would reserve my further comments. I hope all/any casualties are safe. Now.. I wonder if this stretch of road is haunted…

Are you sure about that junction being part of a cemetery? Yikes!!! I just bought a ground floor HDB unit there. I thought the cemetery was further in.

Yea, I believe the cemetery was further in, and now it’s a condo. But really.. I have no idea about the details. Well, don’t have to be too superstitious, and just drive carefully on that stretch.
I believe ya got a maisonette? Welcome to the neighborhood!
