A TRUCK driver was flung into the sea late last night after an accident near the Tuas Checkpoint.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it received a call at 11.47pm about a Malaysian-registered truck that had rammed into the link bridge. The truck had been on its way to Singapore from Johor Baru.
Staff from both the SCDF's Disaster Assistance Rescue Team and the Police Coast Guard were on hand to look for the driver, but the search was called off due to high tides.
