The car driver, Eddie Wong, posted a video taken from his car’s dashcam camera on his Facebook page, showing the moments before and up to the point of impact in the accident that took place on Wednesday, The Straits Times reported.

Wong’s car is considered a total write-off following the crash where a Malaysia-registered trailer crushed his sedan against the wall of the Tuas tunnel in Singapore.

From the 17-second video, it can be seen that the trailer had suddenly swerved from the left lane to the right lane as Wong’s car was approaching, just before the entrance to the tunnel.

The footage also goes blank at the moment of impact, presumably with the dashcam knocked out of position in the crash.

According to the Singapore daily, the 45-year-old service engineer said his friends and family were stunned by the accident when they saw the picture of the crushed vehicle.

Wong also said he couldn’t explain how he survived the accident, calling it “very miraculous”, adding that his only injury was his fingers getting bruised, and that too happened after the accident, while he was trying to find his phone.

“(My car) was dragged from outside to almost halfway inside the tunnel,” Wong was quoted as saying by ST.

He added that he was stuck in the car for a while, and some workers came to ask if he was alright.

“At first when I came out from my car I was still not so scared, just a bit blank and went into the ambulance.

“I didn’t realise how bad it was until some of my friends told me about the picture afterwards, and how it looked so bad. Everyone is very stunned after seeing the picture,” Wong said, according to ST.

The problem now comes with the insurance claims for the car with the trailer being a Malaysian-registered vehicle.

“It’s very hard to claim from them. My insurers told me I must claim from my own insurance first to get back the market value of the car,” Wong told ST, adding that he has not been too traumatised to stop driving.
