A jaywalker was knocked down by a moving car after she tried to dash across the road at Ang Mo Kio Ave 1.

Dashcam footage of the incident was posted to Facebook page Roads.sg on Feb. 21, where it has since garnered over 500 shares within three hours.

Jaywalking

According to the date and time stamp on the footage, the incident occurred on Feb. 20.

The vehicle was travelling along the third lane of a three-lane carriageway, with the second lane occupied by a slow-moving line of vehicles.

This is what the road looks like.

In the video, a woman is seen suddenly darting out from between the vehicles on the second lane.

With no time to react, the dashcam vehicle slams into her, sending her flying a distance away from the car.

The woman is able to get up after the hard fall, and goes about picking up her scattered belongings.

The driver of the dashcam vehicle later exits the car to check on her, and the woman appears to take a rest on the grass verge before the video ends.

In response to Mothership's queries, SCDF confirmed that they were alerted to a road traffic accident along Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 on Feb. 20 at about 11am.

SCDF conveyed the woman to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
