'An entire truck went down': ST Healthcare vehicle rescued by tow truck after rolling down slope
A 44-year-old male lorry driver sustained minor injuries after the vehicle skidded along the junction of Jalan Jintan and Nutmeg Road and rolled head-first down a grassy slope.
Police told Stomp that they were alerted to the accident at about 4.35pm on Nov 17. The driver declined to be taken to the hospital.
Investigations are ongoing.
In a nine-second clip that went viral on Nov 17, posted by TikTok user @Azure, the vehicle can be seen at the bottom of the slope, as police cars and security officers converge near a residential area.
"An entire truck went down," the person behind the camera is heard saying, as the on-screen captions say that the driver was unharmed.
In another video posted four hours later, a tow truck is seen pulling the vehicle back onto the road, while passers-by watch from the second storey of a nearby building.
"Apparently the car is reversing out. They're towing it up," the TikTok user says.
Stomp has reached out to ST Healthcare for comment.
Netizens speculate on cause of accident
The original video had gained over 205,400 views and 2,500 likes at press time.
Commenters noted that the road is often used by businesses around the area for deliveries, speculating that the accident could have occurred due to traffic conditions in the area.
"What is ST Healthcare doing on this part of the road? Delivery should be at Mount Elizabeth, Paragon or Lucky Plaza where the clinics are located," another remarked.
Some jokingly told the driver that he couldn't park there, while others expressed relief that no one was hurt.
