Accident kills foreign worker
By Maria Almenoar

A FOREIGN worker died after a lorry driver apparently lost control of his vehicle and ploughed into three pedestrians at a dormitory in Toh Guan Road East early Monday morning.

The driver, a 36-year-old Indian national, is now under arrest for suspected drink-driving.

The police said the accident happened shortly after 1am as the lorry was turning round the bend on the road. It mounted a kerb, hit a fire hydrant and narrowly missed a tree before slamming into the pedestrians and the Westlite Dormitory's compound wall and fence.

The dead man, 25, was a resident at the dormitory and worked at Mun Siong Engineering. The dormitory, which has 4,000 workers, is one of several places where foreign workers are housed in the area.

His name was not disclosed as his family has not been informed.

He was trapped under the lorry and had to be extricated by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) using hydraulic spreaders.

Read the full report in Tuesday's edition of The Straits Times.
