SINGAPORE – A car ended up in a drain near Balmoral Plaza after an accident with a pedestrian on Tuesday (Nov 7) night.

He said it occurred after Balmoral Plaza, towards Bukit Timah.
Mr Ajay, who did not give his full name, told The Straits Times that he heard a loud noise followed by a bang.
He went down from his home in a nearby condominium to see what happened and saw a man lying on the grass.
