SINGAPORE: A stretch of road along Tanjong Katong Road South collapsed on Saturday (Jul 26), causing a vehicle to plunge into the water-filled hole.
One person was taken to the hospital.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said that it was alerted to the incident at about 5.50pm.
It occurred at the junction where One Amber condominium is located.
Photos and videos circulating on social media show a vehicle almost fully submerged in water where the road caved in. There appears to be construction work going on in the area.
Footage also showed the area cordoned off with cones, with heavy traffic forming on one side of the road.
A CNA reader said that as he was driving past, he saw people crowding around and cars reversing from where the incident took place.
Member of Parliament for Marine Parade–Braddell Heights GRC Goh Pei Ming said in a Facebook post that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Public Utilities Board (PUB) are currently investigating the situation.
CNA has contacted authorities for more information.
