Blue Lorry Gets a Rough Wake‑Up Call
On a crisp Thursday morning (June 27), a blue lorry sitting at the back of a DHL truck turned into an unlikely dance floor. Six guys—donning orange work‑wear—were flung from the vehicle after a collision near 70 Tanah Merah Coast Road.
What Went Down
- SCDF Response: The Singapore Civil Defence Force rushed in at about 8:05 am.
- Video Buzz: A clip shared by the SG Road Vigilante Facebook group shows the lorry’s passengers tossed into the air along with a mix of cargo.
- Line‑of‑Fire Chaos: The lorry veered onto the sidewalk, sending debris flying over the grass.
- Yellow Truck Exit: The DHL truck sped away without slowing down.
Vulnerable Victims
Four men scrambled upright, two lay on the ground. SCDF paramedics were quick to act and transported all six to Changi General Hospital.
Police & DHL’s Take
- Police: Confirmed the incident occurred heading toward ECP and that victims—aged 31 to 40—were conscious on arrival.
- DHL’s Response: A spokesperson said the driver was a subcontractor. DHL is filing a report, offering full cooperation, and pledging a review of safety standards with partners.
While the cause is still under investigation, the incident serves as a stark reminder: even a routine haul can turn into a Hollywood stunt if caution is missing.
