AFTER a week of attending to accident scenes it appears our men in blue have made some headlines of their own.Several AsiaOne and Stomp readers came across a badly crashed police car along Sin Ming Avenue on the morning of Jan 8.The police car had crashed into a lamp post causing it to lean to one side. The bonnet of the police car was also crumpled on one side with the lamp post wedged in between. The front bumper of the police car also seemed to have fallen off. Airbags were also deployed.According to Stomp, readers sent in a few messages with time stamps ranging from 11.30am to 12pm.Stomp reader Sun Chong Hong told Stomp that the accident occurred at the road bend just before Sin Ming Walk junction towards Marymount Road.Some users of online forums commented that the police car could be scraped as the engine might already be damaged.Police car vs lamp post 2Just two days ago on Jan 6, Stomp readers spotted another police car rammed into a lamp post. Readers came across the accident scene in the evening along Jurong West Avenue 5 but it was not clear at what time did the accident take place.Reader JX described to Stomp the state of the police car as "badly damaged". He also added that the accident happened within a stone's throw from the police post.The cost of completely replacing a lamp post after someone crashes into comes to $2,000, a recent TNP report said.http://www.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Story/A1Story20110110-257245.html

Lamp post tilts precariously over houses after police car rams into itThe sight of this police car rammed into a street lamp at Jurong West Avenue 5 must have startled residents as much as it did STOMPers JX and Brandon.Spotted in the evening today (January 6), the police car had crashed into the lamp post outside a row of residential houses, causing the post to be tilted backwards.According to JX, the car was badly damaged in the front.He says:"I happened to drive past Jurong West Avenue 5 and to my surprise, it was not any other car but a police car that crashed into the lamp post along the road!"The front part of the car was badly damaged, not to mention the lamp post."The accident happened within a stone's throw from the police post."I wonder what happened to the officer".In another contribution, a shocked STOMPer Brandon says:"This police car hit a lamp post!".++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++How much to pay if you crash into public property?Sat, Dec 25, 2010By Desmond NgTHE next time you recklessly crash into a lamp post, you would have more to worry about than just your car repair bill.That lamp post, if it needs to be replaced, will cost you an extra $2,000. In short, if it is your fault that you hit traffic fixtures or even trees, you have to pay up.Every year, about $500,000 is collected from motorists or insurance companies, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the National Parks Board (NParks).When it's a hit-and-run case, it's taxpayers' money that gets wasted.LTA said it has recovered an average of $350,000 a year in repair costs from about 490 incidents in the past three years.NParks said it sees about 100 cases a year and collects $100,000 to $150,000 in fines for damage to trees by motorists.Recently, a Stomper called Mr Lim posted on the citizen journalism website a picture of a major accident involving a car and a bus at Hougang Street 91 last Tuesday.The impact of the collision was so severe that it caused the car to hit a nearby lamp post, toppling it.Mr Lim, who declined to give his full name, told The New Paper in Mandarin: "I knew it was serious because by the time I snapped this photo, an ambulance had arrived and (the crew) tended to some injured people."The 58-year-old taxi driver said the motorists involved will probably have to pay to replace the lamp post."It's only natural that the motorist will have to pay for any damage to the lamp post. If you break something, you'll have to pay for it, right?" he added.Recover through insurersLTA said that when street infrastructure, such as lamp posts, traffic light posts, control boxes or road railings, is damaged in an incident, LTA would recover the repair cost from the motorists involved through their car insurers.Said a spokesman: "The amount recovered varies, depending on the affected structure and extent of repair that is required."For example, straightening and putting back a fallen railing with no parts replaced would cost less than $200.Repairing a traffic light control box would cost at least $10,000, said LTA.NParks said that when roadside trees are hit and damaged by a vehicle and it is established that it is due to recklessness, negligence or intoxication of the motorist, the motorist may be fined, starting from $2,000 a tree.The motorist may also have to pay for the damage caused.NParks said the fine may be reduced on appeal.This has been enforced since 1995.Said an NParks spokesman: "Trees are an important aspect of Singapore's greenery and form the backbone of our tropical garden city."Motorists involved can appeal to NParks and the outcome of the appeal is dependent on the circumstances leading to the accident."Lamp post (complete replacement): $2,000Road railing: Less than $200Traffic light control: $10,000Trees: Fine of at least $2,000
A police car crashed into a lamp post at Old Choa Chu Kang Road, leaving the front left portion of the car heavily damaged. STOMPer Alsen says:"I was travelling by Old Choa Chu Kang Road this morning when I happened to witness the crash of yet another police car. "The front of the car seemed to have been dealt the main impact of the crash, with its front left portion heavily damaged."Judging from the angle of the car's position and the area of impact, I think the driver could have lost control of the car while manoeuvring the sharp left turn into Old Choa Chu Kang Road from Sungei Tengah Road."sauce: stomp
