Recently, pink-flowered trumpet trees are blooming around Singapore, covering our scenery in pretty sakura-esque flowers.
However, a branch from one of these trees abruptly fell on a car in the Tiong Bahru area, as seen on videos spreading on social media.
The incident allegedly took place on Monday (29 Mar) afternoon.
The Facebook video shared by ROADS.sg shows a camcar video by a driver along Lower Delta Road around the Tiong Bahru area.
Although nothing appears amiss in the first 10 seconds, a tree branch can be seen abruptly falling, without warning, on the road.
A black car in front of the driver happened to be at the spot where the tree branch fell.
The large branch appeared to envelop the car, as it can no longer be seen from the footage.
Upon encountering this sight, the driver behind the camera drives past the site.
A subsequent video shows workers clearing branches from the car.
SCDF told MS News that they received a call for assistance at the junction of Tiong Bahru Road and Lower Delta Road at about 5.15pm.
1 person was conveyed to Singapore General Hospital.
MS News understands that the incident involved a fallen branch from a Trumpet Tree (Tabebuia rosea).
The branch was 10m long and 1.0m wide, and was cleared by 5.30pm.
MS News also understands that the driver didn’t sustain any major injuries.
Trees don’t fall on cars everyday, so this is definitely an exceptional occurrence — we’re glad that nobody appeared seriously hurt.

"Who's the champion who came up with this idea?" the driver asked.
