A motorist has been charged with drink driving after his vehicle struck a police car in Singapore, according to reporting by The Straits Times on July 16, 2026. The incident led to the driver’s arrest and subsequent legal proceedings following the collision with the law enforcement vehicle.

The charges were filed after authorities determined the driver was operating the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
