SINGAPORE - A 43-year-old driver died on Tuesday after he was pinned under his lorry in Tuas in an accident involving his vehicle and a car.
The accident occurred at the junction of Benoi Road and Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim, the police said.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) paramedic. He had to be freed from under the lorry with rescue equipment, SCDF said.
