Preliminary investigations by the police into the Tanjong Pagar shophouse crash on Feb. 13 revealed that the car was being driven by a 29-year-old man.

He had four male passengers on board.

The five of them were aged between 26-29.

In a statement to Mothership, the police said that the group apparently sped along said location before colliding into a shophouse and catching fire.

A 26-year-old woman, who is believed to know the driver, had attempted to assist him and his passengers after the accident.
