The police told Stomp that they arrested a 34-year-old man on Nov 5, in connection with a crash that involved four vehicles at Telok Blangah the previous day.
Clips of the incident, showing a red car driving across a road divider onto the opposite lane before accelerating away, went viral on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page.
The driver is later seen fleeing on foot.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told Stomp that it was alerted to a road traffic accident near the junction of Telok Blangah Drive and Telok Blangah Street 32 at 8.35 am, and one person was taken to Singapore General Hospital.

An e-vaporiser was also found in the car.
The police added that a 48-year-old male driver was conveyed conscious to the hospital.
