While many of us might be frightened out of our wits if we witnessed a car accident happen before our very eyes, some people might react in the exact opposite manner.
Recently on Saturday (30 April), a group of migrant workers and motorists were hailed as heroes after they were seen helping to rescue a woman who was trapped in her car after it overturned in Chinatown.

Based on reports by Shin Min Daily News, a car overturned at Chinatown near Upper Cross Street, and the driver ended up being trapped inside her car.
The incident occurred at approximately 10.30pm on Saturday (30 April).
The cause of the accident is still unknown.
When the accident took place, a lorry that was carrying migrant workers happened to pass by the scene.
The lorry driver instantly stopped driving and pulled over, and the workers on the lorry also got off to offer their assistance.
Together with other motorists and road users, they were able to flip the car back over into an upright position and managed to rescue the driver afterwards.
According to AsiaOne, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) later confirmed that the incident did indeed happen, and was called to the scene to examine the driver.
The female driver was assessed to have minor injuries, but did not want to be sent to the hospital.
As for the damages done to the car, photographs of the incident revealed that the car door and body were damaged on the driver’s side. The car also seemed to have a cracked side window as well.
