SINGAPORE – A lorry tipped over to its left while making a right turn in Upper Thomson on Thursday morning.

A 46-year-old driver sustained minor injuries, but he did not want to be taken to hospital, the police said.

In a video posted on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page, the lorry is seen balancing momentarily on its left wheels before it topples over, and spilling brown liquid on the road and the bushes. The toppled vehicle then occupies two lanes of the three-lane road.

A crane truck is later seen in the video lifting the lorry back into an upright position.

The police said they were alerted to an accident involving a lorry in Upper Thomson Road at the junction of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 at about 9.30am on Thursday.

They added that the lorry driver is assisting with investigations.
