Another BlueSG electric Opel Corsa-e hatchback has been damaged after an accident along Tampines Avenue 9 on Dec. 2, 2022 -- some five weeks and one day after they were launched to ply Singapore's roads.

The first of 500 BlueSG electric Opel Corsa-e hatchbacks were launched on Oct. 27.

Photos and a video of the aftermath of the accident were shared to a Facebook group for BlueSG rental car users.

The photos and video showed the car lying atop the road diver having apparently crashed through the railing.

According to a comment on the post, no other vehicles were involved in the accident.

The occupants of the Opel Corsa-e were two adults and one child, according to an eyewitness.

Mothership has reached out to Singapore Civil Defence Force for more details.

The excess that the driver has to pay could be anywhere between S$5,000 and S$16,000 for such an accident.

According to Bluesg's terms and conditions, the applicable own damage excess caused to a BlueSG car is either S$5,000 or S$8,000, depending on the driver's age and if the driver has held a valid driving licence for more than two years.
