SINGAPORE : A van driver was trapped in the driver's
seat after his vehicle banged into a wall on Tuesday
afternoon.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it
received a call about the accident at around
2.40pm.
SCDF officers went to the accident scene at Lorong 4
Toa Payoh near Block 640 and managed to extricate the driver using
a hydraulic spreader.
The spreader uses a hydraulic system to squeeze or push parts of
the vehicle apart to create space to pull the person out.
The injured driver, a Chinese in his 40s, has been taken to
hospital.
