A shocking sight unfolded in Yishun when a thick metal pipe was found lodged in the windscreen of a lorry. The incident was captured in a viral TikTok video on Friday (21 Feb), amassing over 250,000 views.
Lorry Idling at Junction with Pipe Stuck in Windscreen
In the video, the lorry was seen idling at a junction with its emergency lights flashing. The long metal pipe had pierced through the windscreen near the driver’s side, raising concerns about potential injuries.
Pipe May Have Fallen from Lorry’s Cargo Bed
The lorry’s cargo bed was carrying several similar-looking pipes, leading to speculation that the pipe may have come loose. Despite the damage, the windscreen appeared mostly intact, with no visible glass shards on the road.
Driver Not at the Scene, No Reported Injuries
Strangely, the driver was nowhere to be seen in the video. Many netizens expressed concern, asking if anyone was hurt. The TikTok user who posted the clip later confirmed that no injuries were reported.
Speculation on the Cause of the Incident
Some viewers suggested that the lorry may have braked suddenly, causing the pipe to slide forward and pierce the windscreen. Others were baffled by the freak accident, with one commenter likening it to a scene from the movie Final Destination.
While the exact cause remains unclear, the incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of unsecured cargo on the road.
