A video of the incident was later shared on ROADS.sg Facebook page.

1 person was reportedly conveyed to the hospital as a result of the accident.

1 person conveyed to hospital

Speaking to MS News, the SCDF shared that they were alerted to the traffic accident at about 1.20pm on 9 Mar.

Wish the casualty a speedy recovery ahead

Driving large vehicles is extremely challenging and all the more so when carrying heavy goods.

Thankfully, the driver was manoeuvering the vehicle at a slow speed before the incident occurred.

We hope the casualty did not sustain serious injuries from the accident and wish them a speedy recovery ahead.
