Driver held after lorry cuts across 4 lanes,hits tree & Audi

[Darthrevan]

 

The driver of a white lorry, Mr Ramli Akbar, was arrested after his vehicle swerved across four lanes on Sembawang Road before hitting a tree, tipping over and crashing into an Audi sedan on Monday night. A pill found on the driver has been sent to the Central Narcotics Bureau for testing.

 

A lorry driver who had been taking shipyard workers home was arrested after losing control of his vehicle and swerving across four lanes into a tree.

 

The lorry, with three Indian workers in the back and three locals in the front, ran into the kerb at a junction before careering across Sembawang Road into the tree and tipping over onto its side.

 

It skidded for about 3m before crashing into a white Audi sedan parked in front of a seafood restaurant.

 

One Indian worker, Mr Chala Kannan, in his 30s, was taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. He later regained consciousness and was being treated for a broken finger yesterday. The other workers escaped with superficial injuries.

Thats not an audi sedan, the writer must be ignorant towards car lol

[Camrysfa]

looks like the truck slided onto the Audi but not too hard? hardly can see any damage to the Audi's side - or is it an Audi shell is as strong as a SAF land-rover.

Looks like an Audi SUV rather than Sedan.

 

Hey, at least they got the badge name right...haha

Was reported in some newspaper that the white audi is a Q7.

[Shift_lock]

Straits Times also say Audi sedan

[Pandapura]

To some people, sedan = SUV = MPV = just a car.

 

Let's not get too carried away on the technicalities.

Funny how some reporting on accidents will identify the drivers and they are basically from the same press....

its whether they chose to list out the names or not..certain names of some ethnicities are more sensitive and might rile up citizens' sentiments

[Camrysfa]

Very lucky no lives were lost......Reading the reporters write up " swerved across 4 lanes " " hit a tree " " crashed into a audi sedan ", it is amazing looking at the photo of the driver without a scratch. Total of 7 were in the truck - all escaped with superficial injuries; the worst case mentioned was ' a broken finger'.

 

Not saying speeding and reckless driving should be condoned. But. to me it is quite a miracle.

[Knoobie]

Audi cannot claim liao lo. Since it was parking at roadside?
