A 45-year-old woman is assisting police with investigations after her car reversed into a green railing just outside Endeavour Primary School in Sembawang on July 29.
A video of the incident, which occurred at about 1.40pm along Admiralty Link, was posted on Facebook and showed the driver attempting a three-point turn.
While the vehicle was reversing, it crashed into the barrier and narrowly avoided hitting a schoolgirl and a woman waiting outside the gate. The woman quickly pulled the girl to safety.
Netizens suggested the driver could have mistakenly engaged the wrong gear while making the three-point turn.
The police told TNP that they were alerted to the accident at 2.50pm.
No injuries were reported and police investigations are ongoing.
