Cockroach in car gives woman a fright, causing her to crash into overhead bridge


SINGAPORE: The sight of a cockroach crawling in her car gave a 61-year-old woman such a fright that she crashed into one end of an overhead bridge in Jurong East Central last Friday (Jan 26).

In photos of the aftermath shared on Facebook, the red Mazda is seen mounted on the pavement. Its front bumper appeared to be heavily damaged after hitting the railing at the base of the bridge's staircase.
