The 38-year-old driver of this trailer truck was crushed to death by the steel rods he was transporting at about 2pm today (14 Sept) in Jurong.
STOMPer Yeow, 43, sent this photo in an MMS at about 2.30pm, saying a driver had been killed.
"I saw the rescuers trying to take the body out. I think the steel rods spilled towards him because he applied emergency brake suddenly," Mr Yeow told STOMP.
STOMP contacted the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) which said it received a call at 2.19pm about an accident at the junction of Pioneer Road North and Lokyang Way.
"A trailer was carrying metal rods. The driver was pinned under the steel rods in his seat.
"He was trapped in the seat and SCDF rescuers extricated him from the seat. He was pronounced dead on the spot," a spokesman told STOMP.
