A 26-year-old driver for moving company Shalom Movers died after an accident involving a van and a trailer truck along the Pan Island Expressway on Monday.
The police and Singapore Civil Defence Force said on Tuesday they were alerted to the accident involving a van and a trailer truck along the PIE towards Tuas before the Pioneer Road North exit at around 2.35pm on Monday. A five-second video circulating on messaging platforms on Monday evening showed a van, bearing the Shalom Movers logo, with its driver’s cabin crushed against the rear of the trailer truck.
The driver of the van was found trapped in his seat and was extricated using hydraulic rescue equipment, SCDF said. The man was unconscious when taken to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and later died from his injuries.
