The new month had just barely started (it's only the third day of August!) and we already have three incidents of vehicles being flipped on their sides. 1: Truck flipped over after an accident on Shenton Way While the details of the accident are still unknown, it appeared that the refrigerator truck or chiller lorry had collided with a second lorry before toppling over. From the lorry's position in the video, it was assumed that both vehicles either tried to turn left into the junction or the chiller lorry was travelling straight before it hit the lorry, which was turning left. An ambulance and multiple fire engines could be seen in the video as well, and we hope that all parties involved are alright. 2: Van flipped over after a collision on Geylang Road An accident on Sunday (Aug 1) left a second van toppled over in the junction between Geylang Road and Sims Way. From the video, a Silvercab was seen attempting to make a right turn at the junction when the white van (which was travelling at a high speed and was not on the right turn lane) made a reckless turn at the same time. This resulted in the van tipping over from the force of the impact. It was very obvious in the video that the white van was in the wrong and that the driver's reckless behaviour had put the lives of others (and his) at risk. Is it really that hard to follow the traffic rules? He wasn't even in the right lane to begin with. 3: Van flipped over after speeding accident on PIE On the same day (Aug 1), another black van had flipped over after being involved in an accident along the expressway towards Tuas. Like the first incident, there were not much details on what had exactly happened during the incident. However, netizens believed that the vehicle might have been speeding down the road and failed to stop in time before colliding with a second vehicle. Netizens' reactions TBH, what exactly are these vehicles made of? Even if the centre of gravity for these vehicles is higher, it shouldn't be that easy to flip a van or a lorry after a collision. It's scary to know that our vehicles are not as indestructible as we think they are. --- Thinking of selling your car? sgCarMart Quotz guarantees the highest selling price for your car.
