Serious Accident on 2nd link - Driver FLEW into sea

[PaiKia-Lee]

The most serious in 2nd link so far I think. Happened just last night around 12am

[Zenixth]

what exactly happened?

[Civic6228]

WOW ... sound serious. Must be driving real fast to be able to generate the force to fly over the railings into the sea. Anyway, is it the driver only that flew off or the car and driver ?

Car or driver? or driver with the car?

Crash driver flung into sea

 

A TRUCK driver was flung into the sea late last night after an accident near the Tuas Checkpoint.

 

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it received a call at 11.47pm about a Malaysian-registered truck that had rammed into the link bridge. The truck had been on its way to Singapore from Johor Baru.

 

Staff from both the SCDF's Disaster Assistance Rescue Team and the Police Coast Guard were on hand to look for the driver, but the search was called off due to high tides.

I think most of us have the common sense to know it's not funny especially when they couldn't find the driver.

[Winningeleven]

normally, trunk drivers are paid accordingly by the number of trips , more trips more money and they may not aware that they are already damm tired to drive.

[So_nice]

wow..this is really an "WTF" accident.

[Subutai]

So driver flew into sea? No seat belt?

[So_nice]

[Lanevomax]

[Haziqko]

Another case of "wanted to be a di-ver instead of dri-ver...".

 

Hope he either swam across safely or may he rest i peace...

Precisely.. :angry:

Precisely.. :angry:

 

it is not us to put him into the sea, he is reponsible to his own action.

 

"no seats belt" + "how he bang into the wall" . hope he learn his lesson if he is still alive.
