A woman was hit by a falling tree branch along Redhill Close on the morning of Jan. 26.

She was conveyed to the hospital.

A TikTok video posted about the incident showed a paramedic from the Singapore Civil Defence Force attending to the victim.

An ambulance and police cars could also be seen in the vicinity, as well as a large fallen tree branch.

According to Shin Min Daily News, a damaged shopping trolley, a plastic bag with carrots and tomatoes, and blood-stained tissues were found left at the scene.

In response to Mothership's queries, the National Parks Board (NParks) said it is aware of the incident.

It involved a snapped tree branch from an angsana tree, which has since been cleared, said Oh Cheow Sheng, group director of streetscaping at NParks.

"NParks is in touch with her family and our priority now is to accord assistance to them," he said.

He added that NParks staff are in the midst of checking the trees in the area as a precautionary measure.
