Another Cement Accident

[CupcakeOfDoom]

Taxi covered in cement after accident with mixer truck on PIE

 

A cement truck crashed into the rear of a taxi along Eng Neo Avenue, spilling its load onto the taxi and all over the road there.

Stomp contributors Kesh and Raymond both sent in pictures and comments about the accident, which caused four lanes to be closed while the obstruction was cleared.

​Kesh wrote:

"A cement truck carrying marine clay along Eng Neo Avenue towards Changi crashed into the back of a taxi without passengers spilling clay onto the back of the crashed taxi and on the driver as well.

"The driver was traumatised by what happened and needed assistance to get out of the vehicle.

"Lanes 1, 2, 3, 4 were closed. No one was hurt.

"These photos were taken about 10 seconds after the incident occurred."

I was waiting for someone to start this thread.

 

1) About time to change the per trip wage to per day wage, that would reduce such rushing around and reckless driving.

2) Strict enforcement of speed limiter

What time did it happened? Passed by PIE on the other side at around 2+pm and saw the traffic heading towards city was standstill from Exit 1 all the way to Lornie Rd exit.

Cement sludge is carried by tipper trucks. Industry norm. Mixer trucks carry only fresh RMC.

i concur with (1) but this would effectively reduce income for this group of drivers. from my past experience, their basic pay very low & it is with such arrangement only then can they cope.

 

if want to change, need some authority to step in but given Singapore's stand, ehm, WLL.

[Count-Bracula]

Very good PPS this.

[CupcakeOfDoom]

I think the best solution, if convert to daily instead of per-trip wage, would be of course to pay them a reasonable amount.

 

When it's no longer per-trip wage, they no need to YOLO and chiong across the island to clock more trips.

 

Sometimes I see some of them more hiong than supercar drivers.

I wonder can that road still be use .......will that cement dries on the road and need to do major road repair?

[CupcakeOfDoom]

Some people are saying it's marine clay, so dunno if it's just a matter of washing the stuff away.

I am curious to know, is the taxi still salvageable, as in can the cement be removed?
