Rest in peace...
I hope tp mandate such big trucks must drive at the left lane with speed limit.

Left lane the cement block won't drop off?

 

[yesman2978]

ya and it’s so bloody common to see such practices on the road. Actually, I doubt even 10 straps can sufficiently secure such heavy load.

Sometimes, I’ll see big circular cement blocks also “secured” by just some straps or thin metal bars at the sides. Really what a joke. The authorities are just waiting for 1 big accident to happen before they will review this kind of safety negligence.

Maybe the straps made of vibranium

Or very powerful cloth, like from Hulk's pants

Double decker buses turning at cross junctions are scary

Last time Queenway that side got 1 narrow road slope downwards. Go sit in DD bus the feeling like Roller coaster.

SG is fast becoming like Malaysia

So much so of empathise of work safety

 

[Roadster01]

Wonder if driver has qualified license to load and drive such vehicle?

moi not sure if under class 5 has sub category for such driver, else should have!

the case in Malaysia where a container low-loader toppled and crushed a lady driver at a traffic junction recently, never wake up LTA and TP!

This happens because people don’t care and anyhow do things…they probably have done this many times…and finally today their luck ran out

 

[helloicanseeu]

Whenver I see trucks, big vehicle etc.. I stay far far from them..

some people think nothing will ever happen because of low probability ... but these freak accidents do happen from time to time, u either be actively conscious and avoid these heavy vehicles or u fart care.

China one but scary

Time to have a memorial for those who died from nation building or who were indirect victims of nation building like in this case.

This memorial is more worth it than the propoganda founders memorial.

Fd in sg. Lorry cfm speeding

How come 3tombfollow so slow in reacting to enforcing these speeding trucks, lorries and vans which is under his purview? It has been decades all these vehicles are speeding.

But come to Bloomberg article, can react so fast with LOD?

Whenver I see trucks, big vehicle etc.. I stay far far from them..

Correct, i still can see some ppl trying to tailgate there or aggressively overtake them.

 

[noobiee]

holy fk

rip

 

[pwongkk]

tbh me never expect this sort of acc to happen here :/
yes, accs does happens here now & then but not this kind

More to come. The way sg is now being run is moving from 1st world to 4th world.

Yes, 4th world, and not 3rd world because sg while in 3rd world is still a much better place.

The concrete slab delivering to which project ah?

Wonder who will be the lucky/suay owner of the unit to receive this slab.

 

[pwongkk]

Highly likely that owner will push the blame to the driver, he could claim he told all drivers to secure cargo properly but this one ignored.

Owner will say outsourced to another contractor to supervise the loading.

Construction industry a lot of sub contracting. Confirm sub until many levels down. Main con or owner bo tai chi.

 

[TopGun]

Whose responsibility to ensure that load is properly secured?

The driver is a driver, who picked up the load. Is there like a 'load master' who is trained to determine whether the item has been properly loaded and secured?
