Car carrying NTU students crashes into canal after collision

SINGAPORE - A car carrying three male students from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) had crashed into the canal at the junction of Nanyang Crescent and Nanyang Avenue after a collision with another car yesterday.

The accident took place shortly after noon, during which heavy rains swept through most of Singapore.

After crashing through some railings into the canal, the car was then dragged by strong currents for more than 50m.

A NTU spokesperson told citizen journalism website Stomp that two students were unhurt while the third had slight injuries.

Investigations are ongoing.
