Van crushed in Sengkang crane incident; Driver taken to hospital

Eyewitnesses at a construction site on Punggol Road, near Compassvale Street, observed with dread as the crane lost its balance, extending its arm across the road and crashing onto the van, leaving it crumpled beyond recognition.




Emergency medical teams arrived at the scene, alerted to the accident at 4.55 pm by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).

Eyewitnesses recounted the heart-stopping moment when the driver, in a split-second decision, leapt out of the van mere moments before the crane's impact.

One individual was transported to Sengkang General Hospital for treatment.
