The teenager said that there were no warning signs when the accident took place but her father found newly painted yellow warning strips and railings at the site when he visited the scene of the accident. The gap had also been filled.
SINGAPORE: The father of a Singaporean teenager is seeking explanations and compensation from the authorities after his daughter broke her ankle when she stepped into a gap near a construction site that is right beside a Yishun bus stop.
The incident took place around 11 am on 21 Feb. Jia Min was walking past a temporary bus stop at Yishun Central, across the road from Khoo Teck Phuat hospital, when she stepped into a 20 cm-wide gap at a nearby construction site by accident. Kindhearted passersby rushed to her aid and Jia Min was sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, where she was told that the doctors will need to insert screws and iron plates to support her broken ankle to give her a chance at being able to walk normally again.
Mr Huang told Shin Min Daily News that the accident wouldn’t have occurred if these safety measures had been taken earlier. Hoping for proper explanations and compensation for the incident, he added that the consequences could have been far worse if an elderly person had fallen due to the gap.
