I just cannot imagine anyone would run a red light, in a busy city like Singapore, at 120mph. Nothing good will come of it.

Wow...I can't say that I have followed every traffic law (example would be some speeding), but moving through an intersection that had a red light at high speed...as you said, no good comes of that.

Wow - I took the bus to and train from that very accident site (Bugis Station) just this morning and noticed nothing (there is construction in the area).

It is interesting though that the local Singapore news sites are saying that the Ferrari must have been doing 'more than 100 km/h according to the cab driver who had the dashcam video of the crash' - not 120 mph.

Also mostly missed is that the accident involved a motorcycle too (I am a bike guy as well).

Now - 100km/h at 4:15am - could be about right for this town of no long distances and many many exotics.

Minok has a spectacular aura aboutMinok has a spectacular aura about
Driving at that speed in an area that has stop signs and traffic signals is in and of itself already suicidal stupid, but to run a red light on top of it is just a question of: at what point will you crash into someone innocent. If its 100kph thats still 62mph, inside a city with signals... still waiting for disaster.

That car looked like it was going faster than 60 mph. At that timein the morning ill bet alcohol had something to do with it.

Just incredible. Prayers to the victims. Bad judgment and fast cars shouldn't mix.

I always tell my family and friends even if you have a green light from a stop, always be defensive and keep an eye out. Sorry to hear about those innocent victims!

Unbelievable! I always pause a bit at a busy intersection. It would have done no good here. That guy was way late through that light. Tragic.
