A LORRY carrying a mobile crane hit an overhead gantry on Sunset Way on Monday morning and ripped off the metal sign, which crashed onto a taxi behind.
The gantry sign was put up to warn to warn drivers large vehicles of the maximum height before they pass under an old railway bridge there.
Cabby Lek Yong Meng, 59, was driving into the residential estate with a passenger in the back seat when the gantry sign fell and shattered the rear window of his taxi and dented part of the car roof.
The lorry with the attached crane up was coming out of the neighbourhood after delivering a supply of cement to a house under construction.
But Mr Arpundharaj Annaraj, a worker from Siong Hua Supplier and helper to the lorry driver, said he was not sure if the crane was up or down as they left the site.
