JackRabbit 3rd Gear March 31, 2012 Share March 31, 2012 http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/...331-336888.html Tree falls and crushes car along Upper Bukit Timah road AsiaOne Saturday, Mar 31, 2012 SINGAPORE - A big tree fell on two cars along Upper Bukit Timah Road, crushing one of them and causing a major traffic jam along the road. According to pictures sent in by eyewitnesses, one of them appears to be a black Vios car, with the tree trunk having landed across the roof over its back passenger seats. According to Mr Michael Lee, 51, the driver of the black vehicle, the car was stationary and he was waiting at a light when the tree fell. He was the only passenger in the car at that time. The second car involved had its car tyres caught by the branches of the fallen tree. However, the female driver in the second car managed to dislodge them and drive off. According to a spokesperson for Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), they received news of the accident at 12.18pm. SCDF officers reached the scene four minutes later. A fire engine and an ambulance were also dispatched to the scene. However, as there were no injuries, the ambulance left the scene shortly. The cause of the tree breaking has not yet been determined. Mr Lee said the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) should do a better job of maintaining the condition of the trees. Speaking to an AsiaOne reporter, he said that 'flimsy would be an understatement' to describe the condition of the tree. According to SCDF, the National Parks Board (NParks) will conduct investigations to determine what happened.
