Car falls into sinkhole at Tanjong Katong Road South; one person taken to hospital

[Ironside]

She was supposed to stop. She ownself ignore the marshal

Like that she still can claim insurance and compensation?

typical tunnel vision driver...too focused on seeing front, never check surroundings.

The car that just passed before the collapse is very Heng.

 

[Ironside]

Even if just 3m deep, with an unsteady landing surface that may collapse further, surefire way to get a broken limb and hospital stay.

3m and have water to cushion?

The workers also using tools, at least a rope

without rope just jump in is sure cause more trouble maybe you and driver can heart to heart talk while waiting for scdf

Did you see the fast current of the water flowing there?? It will be a miracle if anyone can hang on there...

You willing to jump into 3m deep muddy water with no idea if there are metal reinforcement bars sticking up just waiting to skewer you upon landing?

[joshwong11]

should rename tanjong katong road to the name of the migrant worker who saved the lady or the mp who first rushed to the scene?

 

[BlackWing1977]

They just show the video of how the vehicle fall into the hole... the worker tried to stop her from driving through.. she drove on end up falling into the hole as the crater formed.... haiz...

Maybe a stunt artist may try for a movie scene.

Amber Rd - near the tg katong sinkhole- I estimate over the last 2 years the short stretch of rd had been dug up for pipe/cable laying and road works and patched up at least 10 times if not more .

Minister is full time ..not part time

Precisely, that's why they have to make a lot of decision on many things. You really think they just sit in the office pcw meh. They should have tons of meetings everyday and lots of documents to review and approve.

idunno why but i want to sing "mari kita rakyat sinkapura" when i saw this

That's my take too, which is why I am damm pissed with lorries and vans hogging the fast moving lanes. Their vehicle chassis prevents looking forward ahead and defeats the purpose of having the high mounted brake lights.

So if they failed to rescue and she went even deeper down and gone..

Will scdf blame them for not waiting for professional to help?

Some experts will be interviewed soon.

They quickly put a blue canvas over the car like a blue tent for human.
