RELATED: Truck driver rampage at Choa Chu Kang

First, he crashed into practically everything that was in the way of his lorry at Choa Chu Kang Way - railings, a traffic light, three vehicles and a road sign.

But that's not all.

The mayhem began Monday morning, after the 53-year-old male driver apparently lost control of his lorry and veered left onto the pedestrian pavement at Choa Chu Kang West flyover and knocked down part of the railings, witnesses said.

Then, as it moved along the pavement, it knocked down a traffic light at the cross junction before hitting two cars and a taxi travelling towards Kranji Expressway.

Two of the vehicles were badly dented, but instead of stopping, the driver made several attempts to reverse his lorry back onto the road.

After he drove off, the lorry took down a huge road sign along Choa Chu Kang Way.

He kept going until the junction of Choa Chu Kang Way and Choa Chu Kang Avenue 3, where the lorry stalled.

His trail of destruction covered about 500m of Choa Chu Kang Way.

But the drama did not end there.

By then, the SMRT bus driver had found his way blocked by the lorry.

The lorry driver topped it off by allegedly assaulting an SMRT bus driver who had honked at his lorry after it stalled and blocked traffic.

The 47-year-old at the wheel was driving an off-duty bus, said an SMRT spokesman.
