A traffic jam lasting about five hours with cars lined up for at least 5km was the result of a trailer accident at Clementi Flyover yesterday morning.
Carrying goods that appeared to be stacked too high, the trailer was seen to have crashed into the underside of the flyover.
Videos on Singapore Road Accident and SG Road Vigilante s Facebook page posted yesterday described the cargo as hitting the underside of the flyer, which has a height limit of 4.5m.
SG Road Vigilante s video also mentioned that the trailer belonged to Kim Soon Lee One-Stop Transportation & Moving Specialist.
Mr Keok Ngee Sim commented on SG Road Vigilante s Facebook page that there was very heavy traffic (that) morning and Mr Ma Cai Yi said he was jammed for one hour starting from Jurong Town Hall towards (the) city .
Facebook page Singapore Road Accident posted a horrifying video on Jan. 1.
It is unclear when this video was filmed.
The incident was filmed with a car s rearview camera. In the video, a man is seen jaywalking across a road. Stepping out from behind the car, the man started to cross the middle of the road.
Unfortunately, he was in a blind spot and did not see an oncoming lorry moving in the opposite direction. Just as he started crossing the road, he spotted the lorry but it was too late.
The lorry rammed straight into the man, sending him flipping onto the road. He laid unconscious on the road while another man, presumably a passer-by, rushed forward to tend to him.
