As it approached a green light, it should have turned left to follow the curve of the road — but instead, it sped straight ahead, crashing directly into a construction site in the middle of the road.

The force of the impact was strong enough to knock over a concrete barrier, toppling several other structures in its path.

Additionally, the footage showed the driver getting knocked around inside the cabin of their truck.

 

Two pedestrians at the roadside stopped walking and gawked in shock at the sudden accident while two cars slowed down as they approached.

Due to the late hour at which the crash happened, the construction site appeared to be empty.

Injured individual declined to be sent to hospital

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told MS News that they were alerted to the incident at around 1.55am on 16 March.

An SCDF paramedic assessed one person for minor injuries but they refused conveyance to the hospital.

Following the viral footage, netizens expressed relief that the site was empty at the time of the crash.
