A tipper truck driver found himself lying on the road in front of his tipped-over vehicle in a morning accident on Changi Coastal Road, in front of Tanah Merah Country Club on Dec. 31, 2016.

A road user, Jackie Yap, filmed the scene and shared it with us on Facebook.

Thankfully traffic wasn't too heavy at the time and the authorities were on the scene to assist the injured man and ensure traffic flow:

In his description accompanying the video, Yap says there was a recently-created road diversion that has seen many heavy vehicles executing illegal U-turns.

He said the the road diversion was created as recent as a few days ago, in fact.

This is likely to be the road where it happened:

Happy New Year, and drive safely when you pass by there.

We hope the driver's all right too.
