TRAILER RAMS INTO OVERHEAD PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AT BALESTIER

Dear A.S.S. Editor

A trailer carrying an excavator rammed an overhead pedestrian bridge at Balestier Road on Friday evening causing parts of the road to be closed. Photos and video posted on social media showed that the boom of the excavator had hit the bridge and dislodged part of the structure.

LTA has stated on their twitter that there had been an accident on Balestier Road (towards Jalan Kebun Limau) after McNair Road, and that Balestier Road was closed after McNair Road. There have been no reports of injuries thus far, although no further updates have been made available.
