Car ploughs into Yishun rubbish chute; driver charged with meth-fuelled driving

A 32-year-old Singaporean man has been charged after allegedly crashing his car into a rubbish chute in Yishun while under the influence of methamphetamine. The accused faces a total of five charges, including driving under the influence of a specified drug — methamphetamine — alongside four other traffic-related offences stemming from the same incident. The collision caused damage to the HDB rubbish chute infrastructure, a fixture of void deck life that rarely features in criminal proceedings. The case highlights the intersection of drug abuse and dangerous driving in residential estates, where pedestrians and residents are in close proximity to road access points at all hours.
