SINGAPORE: Two men were injured after an SBS Transit truck skidded into a drain along Bedok North Avenue 4 towards Changi South Lane on Wednesday (Jun 13).
Photos and a video posted online showed the SBS Transit vehicle lying on its side inside a big drain. Several guard rails lining the side of the drain lay mangled on the pavement, presumably showing the crash path of the truck.

One eyewitness was pictured kneeling next to a man lying in the drain.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said they were alerted to the incident at about 12.40pm and rescued two men from the drain.
