According to SG Road Vigilante (SGRV) on Facebook, the incident allegedly took place at 10.30am on 26 Jan.

The dashcam footage showed the lorry travelling with several long pieces of cargo, left unsecured and leaning against the canopy. It is unclear what material they are made of.

As the camcar driver switched lanes to the right, one of the objects fell off the back of the lorry and onto the road where their vehicle was previously.

Another piece then tumbled diagonally out of the lorry, right into the path of the camcar.

“Oh my god!” One of them exclaimed in shock and hit the brakes, while another person screamed. The object then disappeared underneath their vehicle.
