A 24-footer truck carrying 35 workers crashed into a tree along
Jurong Port Road on Wednesday morning, a day after three Chinese
nationals were killed when the lorry they were riding in skidded
and overturned just off the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE).
Fourteen others were injured in Tuesday's horrific accident.
In the latest Jurong Port accident, there were no serious
casualties, according to the company's boss Simon Subra.
Two of the 35 workers from Fining Engineers and Contractors were
sent to the National University Hospital for head injuries and
treated as outpatients. Another four escaped with scrapes and
bruises and have since been discharged.
The company deals with 'the transportation of several goods" and
provides moving services as well, said Mr Subra. He added that the
driver of the truck has been driving for about 40 years and this is
the first time the company has had such an incident.
