The new month had just barely started (it's only the third day of August!) and we already have three incidents of vehicles being flipped on their sides.

1: Truck flipped over after an accident on Shenton Way

 

While the details of the accident are still unknown, it appeared that the refrigerator truck or chiller lorry had collided with a second lorry before toppling over. 

From the lorry's position in the video, it was assumed that both vehicles either tried to turn left into the junction or the chiller lorry was travelling straight before it hit the lorry, which was turning left. 

An ambulance and multiple fire engines could be seen in the video as well, and we hope that all parties involved are alright.

 

2: Van flipped over after a collision on Geylang Road

 

An accident on Sunday (Aug 1) left a second van toppled over in the junction between Geylang Road and Sims Way. 

From the video, a Silvercab was seen attempting to make a right turn at the junction when the white van (which was travelling at a high speed and was not on the right turn lane) made a reckless turn at the same time. 

This resulted in the van tipping over from the force of the impact.

It was very obvious in the video that the white van was in the wrong and that the driver's reckless behaviour had put the lives of others (and his) at risk. Is it really that hard to follow the traffic rules? He wasn't even in the right lane to begin with.

 

3: Van flipped over after speeding accident on PIE

 

On the same day (Aug 1), another black van had flipped over after being involved in an accident along the expressway towards Tuas.

Like the first incident, there were not much details on what had exactly happened during the incident.

However, netizens believed that the vehicle might have been speeding down the road and failed to stop in time before colliding with a second vehicle. 

Netizens' reactions

TBH, what exactly are these vehicles made of? Even if the centre of gravity for these vehicles is higher, it shouldn't be that easy to flip a van or a lorry after a collision. It's scary to know that our vehicles are not as indestructible as we think they are.

I think it's harder to drive a van than a supercar.

The van got skinny tyres like chicken legs and is top heavy.

A supercar is so flat like pancake and wheels so wide like my smile.

Try doing 100 kmh on a wet road around a sharp bend in a van and in a supercar and I think your heart will be in your stomach more in the van.

:D

😄😄😄 I tried it before liao, more than 20 years ago when I was having this old Toyota Liteace, the gear shit was still by the side of steering model. It was I think 17 years old if I am not wrong. I was coming down from Sheares Bridge towards Fort Road at about 70kmh on a rainy day when a jam brake (caused by a rubbish ahead) makes me  spin 360 degrees and my face turned white. I was lucky there was no accident involved with maybe only one or 2 cars passing me☠️☠️

Last time those vans have the beeper when you reach 70kmh. But those days as we were so young, you don't slow cos you don't get caught lah. For many years liao. I don't speed or break any traffic rules anymore. Not even parking ticket cos you know the value of money liao

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Armored MMA

    Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a brutal sport that, in recent decades, has grown to significant prominence.  Whatever you make of the sport (and the often complicated and sometimes problematic climate that swirls around it), there's no denying its popularity, driven in large part by the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) brand - a multi-billion-dollar global enterprise.  But if partially-clothed men/women beating the s*it out of each other is not quite your thing, may I interest you in

    The best covers are the ones you don't expect

    I'm not a fan of Christmas.  Let's first set aside the unclear and potentially contentious origins of this particular 'holiday', and my general apathy towards religiosity. (Christians celebrate it as the day of Jesus' birth, though some evidence suggests his actual birth was in the spring. Some historians also note that the Christian traditions of Christmas can be traced back to Pagan roots and the Saturnalia festival, and the chosen 25 December date was an attempt by church leaders to appr

    Zebras

    On a recent podcast episode, this hilarious nugget of information was brought up: "Zebras have the loudest farts".  What.  I have spent some time Googling this, and I cannot yet definitely verify the accuracy of this statement. But there is some scientific basis to it - zebras are hindgut fermenters, and there's a whole bunch of biology behind it but the important takeaway is that yes, zebras fart plenty. This also explains their 'bum-heavy' shape, similar to cows, horses, el
