The incident, which occurred with a "loud bang", took place at around 12:15am on Jul. 13, at 3 Temasek Boulevard.
It resulted in a 56-year-old male driver being sent to the hospital and the fountain being closed for maintenance.
The man is under investigation for suspected dangerous driving, CNA reported.

No luck
Some quipped that since the crashed car was overturned, people should flip the bidding number "4516" to "6145".
This theory seemed to fly with some people, resulting in both "4516" and "6145" being sold out on Jul. 14.
But no one struck gold.
Ironically, according to Shin Min, both numbers have been called several times in lottery history, with "4516" and "6145" having been called 12 and eight times respectively.
