Man taken to hospital after cement truck overturns in Chinatown
SINGAPORE - A cement truck driver was taken to the hospital while conscious after his vehicle overturned in Chinatown on July 19. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and police said they were alerted to the accident in Eu Tong Sen Street around 5pm that day. The accident happened in the direction of Hill Street, said the police, adding that the truck was believed to have skidded. The 52-year-old driver was taken to the Singapore General Hospital. In a video recording of the accident uploaded to social media, two workers can be seen shovelling concrete that was spilled off the pavement and back into the mixer. The two left-most lanes of the four-lane road were also cordoned off by the authorities. The driver is also assisting police with their investigations. Earlier in May, 81 errant heavy vehicle drivers were issued summonses for a range of traffic offences, including speeding, using a mobile communication device while driving, failing to keep left, failing to secure the load on a vehicle using ropes or other proper materials and failing to visibly display a speed limiter label.
