A woman was crossing the road with her children at Tampines on Oct 24 when heavy rain caused a tree to fall on them.In a TikTok video, Zila Fazlan wrote that she was crossing the road along Tampines Street 32 and 33 around night time when a sudden storm occurred.«A loud clanking metal sound was heard, and within seconds, a tree fell onto the pedestrian walkway,» she said.«The incident happened abruptly, and my elder son and I were trapped under the fallen tree,» she added. «My younger son managed to escape unharmed.»Zila told Mothership that she and her son managed to free themselves, but they could not remember how they did it. She described their experience as «pure shock and survival instinct».A passer-by took Zila and her sons, ages 7 and 12, to a shelter, where they also helped to call an ambulance.In response to AsiaOne's queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that they received a call for assistance at the junction of Tampines Street 32 and 34 at about 10.25pm.Zila was taken to Changi General Hospital and was treated for abrasions, lower back pain, and a swollen knee. She was discharged on Oct 28.
