Tree falls on SMRT bus along Upper Thomson Rd

A tree fell on an SMRT bus along Upper Thomson Road today (Jan 22), apparently because of the heavy rain.

Says STOMPer Stormy:

"Heavy rain at Upper Thomson Road caused tree to fall on SMRT bus."

STOMPer Rina added:

"Heavy downpour caused a tree to fall and hit SMRT bus.

"Passed by Upper Thomson Road before Mandai Road (towards Sembawang) during a heavy downpour at about 6.15pm on Sunday (Jan 22)."

Having been living in this area, I can only say despite of frequent cutting, etc they still cannot ID the problem. Previously there was a huge log fell on that road, luckily there wasn't anyone trapped under it as its @ a very busy road.
So far it happened like 5 times in less than 2yrs, branches (and logs!) fallen across the road
