Lorry hits traffic cop on BKE


By Esther Tan

A TRAFFIC police officer, who stopped to help the driver of a broken-down van, was knocked down by a lorry along the Bukit Timah Expressway on Monday afternoon.

The 23-year-old corporal had pulled up on the road shoulder behind the van, near the Dairy Farm exit, to help the 52-year-old van driver, when they were struck by an out-of-control lorry. Both men were standing behind the van when they were hit by the lorry.

The 23-year-old lorry driver had lost control of his vehicle while travelling in the left lane. The lorry skidded before crashing into the men and the two stationary vehicles.

The impact sent the van hurtling towards the centre road divider, while the bike was left in a mangled heap on the side of the expressway. Glass, plastic and rubber debris were strewn across the road.

Both the officer and the van driver were taken, in a conscious state, to the National University Hospital. The officer suffered multiple abrasions and hand injuries, while the van driver had cuts to his head and leg.

The lorry driver suffered minor cuts. He remained behind at the scene of the accident but declined to comment about the incident.
