Changi Flyover hit by crane boom

[Garlic]

Was shocked to see the giant thing right in front of me after the bend ....

 

And debris were everywhere, including the big steel cables ......

[Saabss]

busy smoking to calm himself down i guess

[Huggable]

Yeah, one of the unfortunate ones.

 

Everyone was fine, thanks. Lil' Chris (my son) was shouting in the car, seeking for attention while I changed the tyre, and my wife walked back to take pictures. I had to reverse a few tens of metres after changing the tyre, and went over to get the trailer company info, driver name, etc, and take more pictures. By the time we went back to the car, lil' Chris was already crying as he was strapped to his seat for too long.

 

I must be at the scene for at least a good 30-45mins.

I'm sure any driver would be "kan-jiong" if he caused such an accident. He claimed to be the sole breadwinner, and have a newborn baby to take care of. His company won't help him out as he was involved in a few accidents previously.

Hmmm, since the driver was involved in a few accidents previously, shouldn't he be much more aware of his own vehicle + crane boom? Plus isn't there supposed to be some safety checks to be done by a supervisor before the truck moves off?

 

If i remember correctly, this type of accident involving a crane boom has occurred before.

 

Guess he has only himself to blame for this, unless he can prove otherwise.

[Applez]

really pity him....

[Upguy1]

he should have his class 4 and 5 license suspended...... left with class 3 to earn his rice bowl.....

Lose $$, lose licence, lose freedom.
