At least one car has been badly crushed after a lorry crane crashed into a sheltered walkway at Bukit Batok West Avenue 6 at around 9.30am on Friday (June 17).

Photos of the toppled shelter at the Block 118 carpark were sent in to citizen journalism site Stomp.

The photos showed that one black car was crushed by the weight of the shelter’s roof.

According to Stomp contributors, the lorry crane had knocked down the shelter’s roof, sending it crashing onto the road.

The force of the crash had also uprooted the pillars of the roof from the ground, damaging the concrete path of the walkway.

Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) personnel arrived at the scene shortly after.

According to Channel NewsAsia, no one was injured in the incident.

It is believed that the driver of the lorry had forgotten to lower the crank when driving through the carpark.
