Wheelchair user crossing road during red light narrowly avoids being hit by car at Canberra Road

A wheelchair user who crossed the road at a red light was nearly hit by a car.

Footage of the incident, which took place at the junction of Canberra Road and Wellington Circle, and appeared to be filmed from the perspective of another vehicle, was uploaded to the Facebook group SGRV ADMIN.

According to the video's caption, the incident took place on Oct. 18, at 12:30am.

The video showed the wheelchair user making his way across the pedestrian crossing, with the traffic light for vehicles showing green while the traffic light for pedestrians is in red.

He then comes to a halt due to an oncoming car that screeches to a stop to avoid hitting him.

The wheelchair user then continues on his way, as the car's horn is heard.

Many of the commenters on the video criticised the wheelchair user for his actions, with a few saying such an incident showed the importance of staying alert at traffic junctions for drivers.
