See no pic..

But i guess i've seen enough of road accident from something minor to something horrific one in all my years of driving / riding until i already feel numb liao.

As in if a horrific accident were to take place across the road so much so the person's head got decapitated and flung across the road and land in front of me, i guess i'll just kick the person's head into the drain.

QF is right, lorries are not an acceptable form of transport for workers.

Lorry was overcrowded

LORRY MEANT FOR 13 PASSENGERS
DESPITE new measures implemented by Land Transport Authority (LTA) in January to improve passenger safety in lorries, rules continue to be ignored.

On the 10-foot Toyota Dyna, 17 people were in the lorry meant to sit only 13 at the back.

Under LTA guidelines, if lorries exceed less than 25 per cent of its allocated capacity, a fine of $500 will be imposed, and if they exceed 25 per cent, the violator will be prosecuted in court, which could lead to a maximum jail term of six months.

THREE workers died on Tuesday morning when a lorry carrying excess passengers skidded and overturned on the slip road from PIE towards Thomson Road.

Two died on the spot while another died later at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), where 14 others were sent for treatment of injuries. All 17 are Chinese nationals and work for CREC Construction Pte Ltd.

The lorry skidded and slammed into the metal railings of the divider separating the slip road to Thomson Road and the PIE.

When ambulances arrived at 8.10am, two men were found in a drain along the divider, one of whom was already dead. Most of the vehicle damage was on its left side, with the passenger door smashed in, and windshield and left cargo side railing knocked off. Injured workers said those with more serious injuries had sat towards the left of the vehicle.

Traffic police closed off a lane on the slip road and the left-most lane of PIE, causing a rush-hour traffice jam till the lorry was lifted by two tow trucks at 10.45am.

Eight of the injured who suffered abrasions and simple arm fractures, including the driver, had been discharged from TTSH. Six others were warded, some for trauma and others for minor abrasions, but all are in stable condition.

LTA should confiscate the vehicles of companies found to be overloaded.

Poor thing. I agree, people should not be transported on open lorries. Time to give more business to the private bus companies!

For the SCDF officers though, these are common sights for them. I have a lot of respect for those guys.. They do the Home Team proud and have one of the most difficult jobs around

[rickysio]

I dunno, so far all the worker carrying lorries I've seen all only have 10 at most, and mainly I only see 3.

Fark the guideline.

13 or 17, and the lorry flips, something bad will happen anyway.
