A Toyota Prius was seen parked in an open-air carpark with a bamboo pole sticking out of its windshield.

It looks like the bamboo pole, used for hanging wet laundry, fell from an apartment located in the block behind the parked vehicle.

This led to the pole 'impaling' the car's windshield, resulting in a rather large (and heartbreaking) crack. 

While the identity of the pole's owner is still unknown, many have speculated that it must have fallen from a unit located on a high level.

The definition of 'killer litter' refers to articles or things that are thrown from high-rise buildings that may cause death. 

According to the Housing Development Board (HDB), if found guilty of killer litter, there's a maximum jail term of 5 years or a fine, or both. 

Netizens' reactions

Appalled by this peculiar incident, netizens tried to stay positive and console the owner of the Toyota Prius. Some even called for the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to start implementing shelters for open-air carparks in HDB estates.

All I can say is that the owner of the Prius is just 'sibei suay' and chose the wrong parking lot at the wrong time. With any luck, hopefully, his car insurance is able to cover this unforeseen damage!
