15-year-old girl injured after allegedly dashing across road and getting hit by a car opposite Serangoon JC

A 15-year-old girl was hit by a car after dashing across the road opposite Serangoon Junior College yesterday (Oct 25) at about 7.30pm.

A Stomper alerted us to a Facebook post by Facebook user Willis Loye, who was appealing for the post to be shared, so that her parents could be notified of the accident. 

In the post, he said that he thought the girl's memory was lost as she did not seem to remember the password to unlock her phone.

He also said that the car had swerved to avoid hitting her, but it could not stop in time. 

Stomp understands that the girl had dashed across the road when the red light for vehicles to stop was showing.

In response to a Stomp query, the police said: "On Oct 25 at 7.33pm, the police were alerted to an accident involving a car and a pedestrian along Upper Serangoon Road towards Serangoon Road.

"The pedestrian, a 15-year-old girl was conscious when conveyed to Kandang Kerbau Hospital (KKH).

"Police investigations are ongoing."

In response to another Stomp query, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) had also confirmed that a pedestrian was involved in the accident and was sent to KKH. 

The girl sustained minor external injuries.
