On 4th April 2016 around 0515 hours, NCDCC Staff Assistant PTE Mohammad Haiqal Bin Zailani was driving to work when he witnessed an accident involving three automobiles, namely: a car, a motorcycle and a bus, at Kranji Expressway (KJE).
A car had collided onto the safety railings of the KJE and a motorbike was lying flat on the ground. There was a casualty lying consciously approximately 100 meters away from the bus.
PTE Haiqal immediately stopped his car safely and assured the casualty that help is on the way. He then alerted both ambulance and police of the accident, and checked for any major bruises or cuts on the casualty that might lead to blood loss.
When the ambulance arrived at the accident scene, PTE Haiqal helped the paramedics with first aid procedures by bandaging the bruise. The casualty was unable to move his back and his left leg, this prompted PTE Haiqal that the use of spinal board would be required. He assisted the paramedic to move the casualty carefully onto the spinal board. PTE Haiqal then assisted the ambulance crew to carry the casualty onto the ambulance stretcher.
NCDCC is proud of PTE Haiqal for advocating active citizenry by assisting the casualty and ambulance crew with the Civil Defence skills and knowledge that he acquired in his vocation as a SCDF NSF.
