Vulcann 6th Gear October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 Was travelling along PIE at around 10:40am today towards airport after the Paya Lebar Rd exit when I first saw a big truck stopping in the middle lane then many cars on hazard lights at the opposite direction on Lane 1 further down. "Accident the other side," I said to my CO. Travelling further down a horrific sight that you only watch on TV or read on newspapers of serious traffic which always happened overseas: A big metallic pole pierching through the front passenger side of the windscreen of a white saloon car!!! Many folks have dismounted from their vehicles & congregating around the white car. Not sure what happened but if you were there on either side you would know how serious it looked. Just hope no one was hurt. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenonWhite 1st Gear October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 Yup... I was that earlier on the way back on the PIE towards Changi...Hopefully there's no passengers on the left front and back of the car.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARTer 2nd Gear October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 OMG!!! Hope the passengers/driver are not badly hurt........ drive carefully (a case of improperly secured heavy item / pile on the back of a truck??) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade777 5th Gear October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 And maybe speeding too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Turbocharged October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 And maybe speeding too. no need to speed. once you have very heavy objects on the truck, just a e-brake, it will send the objects flying to the front unless is very securely hold down.

Civic6228 6th Gear October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 This is what I have been saying all these while .... heavy vehicles should not speed and drive on the left lane. Many of us would agree that there is a lack of reinforcement and these heavy vehicles are speeding like nobody business on the expressway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still waiting to see whether TP will really go all out to crackdown on heavy vehicles speed on Lane 1 or not. I expected they will only do so after the s--t hits the fan. Whats new.

Just hope no one was hurt. Let us hope the casualty do not suffer any permanent injury. I believe the truck driver neglected in securing the goods on his cargo vehicle, then sevred into Lane 1, discharging the pole through the front windscreen of the following car. Need not be speeding/emergency braking involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybertech 4th Gear October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 Good to keep a very safe distance between these heavy vehicle carrying heavy objects not only behind them as well as if see them coming towards you from behind, better speed up or change lane.

XenonWhite 1st Gear October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 its not the issue of speeding or unsecure load now.. i believe cos the crane mount on the lorry, the part came out cos it scrap on the bottom of the bridge resulting in it coming off..
