The police are looking for the driver of a black BMW saloon car after a hit-and-run in Sembawang on Wednesday (Oct 21). 

The incident happened at about 8.25am on Admiralty Road East towards Yishun Avenue 8, in the vicinity of PSA Sembawang Wharves. 

Dashcam footage of the accident shared with SG Road Vigilante and posted on its Facebook page shows the car straddling between the two rightmost lanes after the junction of Deptford Road and Admiralty Road East.

It is then seen rear-ending a motorcycle on the second lane, sending the motorcyclist and his pillion tumbling across to the rightmost lane.

Meanwhile, the car is seen driving on without stopping to render assistance.

In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force stated that the motorcyclist and his female pillion, both 27 years old, sustained minor injuries.

The duo refused to be taken to hospital. 

The police added that efforts to trace the BMW car driver is underway and that investigations are ongoing.
