[Djcoolmax]

Wah.. saw it on the news last nite.. lady driver (not try to imply anything hor..) good thing she walked out with only minor injuries. The owner said not the first time somemore that someone crashed into the garden.. 3rd time liaoz!

 

Best part is, traffic police ask LTA to do something about this.. I wonder what will they do? Wait they say, I will buy back the land for $1 to make the road wider and safer.. then the house owner sweat man....

Car crashes into Andrew Rd property, driver unhurt

By Satish Cheney, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 23 May 2007 2143 hrs

 

SINGAPORE: It is not an everyday sight - a car crashing into a house - but it did happen along Andrew Road on Wednesday at about 2pm.

 

A Proton Savvy somersaulted and landed upside down in the garden of the house off Lornie Road, stopping inches away from the living room.

 

The garden is some five metres lower than street level.

 

Amazingly, driver Lim Hwee Joo came out unhurt, but dazed.

 

She was taken to hospital in an ambulance, just to be safe.

 

"I asked her, "Did you come from the highway, from the flyover?" She said yes. I told her it's illegal to do a left turn from there because there's another slip road coming up and that flyover is supposed to go straight. She said she didn't know about it," said the owner of the house, Daniel Lee.

 

And Mr Lee said this is not the first time that a car has crashed into his house.

 

"The first and second time happened a year or two ago. There was another girl who did the same thing. She avoided the car coming from the flyover and then another time a taxi driver did the same thing, also from the flyover."

 

The Lees are happy that no one was hurt, but still there was a fair amount of damage to their garden.

 

They are hoping the Land Transport Authority will take appropriate measures to prevent a fourth accident.

 

A crane was later used to lift the car out of the garden. - CNA/yy

No need ask LTA do something about it lah. The owner just convert his garden into a punji stick pit can already.

 

Car come crashing down, driver confirm will be impaled and die. Then LTA will be forced to do something. There is no law against turning your garden into a giant booby trap.

Saw the news too. According to the house owner twice was charboh drivers and once taxi driver. Well, I didn't say anything more

[Auron]

garden is 5m lower than street level?

 

so the proton savvy dropped 5m and the lady driver escape with serious injury?

[Fitzy]

The owner of the house is really lucky that none of his family members was injured in all 3 incident.

[Mzrmazda3]

Nope. Infact the news shows that she could still walk to the ambulance but in a state of shock i believe
