TWO men, a Singaporean and a Malaysian, died on the spot when the van they were in mounted a kerb and struck a MRT track pillar along Commonwealth Avenue West on Monday morning.
The accident happened at 10.20am near the Singapore Polytechnic. The two men were working in emergency lift rescue for Esmaco, a subsidiary of United Premas. It is not clear if they were on the way to a case or returning from one.
Mr Ismadi Abdul Wahab, who is in his early 30s and his co-worker, a Malaysian known only as Mr Siva were trapped in the front cabin of the van, which crashed and landed on its right side.
Singapore Civil Defence Force rescuers arrived and extricated them, but they were pronounced dead by paramedics.
The news came as a shock to Mr Ismadi's friends. One of them turned up at his office to look for him on Monday after having lost touch for a few years. But he found that he was too late.
'Maybe it's just not my luck to see him,' said the man, who only wanted to be known as Eddie. He described the married man as a cheerful and happy-go-lucky person who readily lent friends and family members a helping hand.
'Once I needed to borrow $2,000 from him and he just lent it to me without thinking,' he said.

I wonder how does it feel to be involve in such an accident. Ok i may sound stupid but I really wonder how these guys felt when their body were forced to blackout against their own will. Do they know they were going to die when they blackout in that very minute seconds?
Anyway RIP to them
