Tree branches fell on top of taxi

I went down to Orchard Road to meet my bf after my work just now. I was on the bus and as usual the traffic after office hours was horrible. I thought it was the usual peak hour traffic that cuase the bus to be stuck on Tanglin Road for quite sometime. It was only when people started to get off the bus when I realised that there must be something wrong.

I walked to the front of the bus and saw a taxi on the other side of the road "crushed" by some tree branches. The tree branches were all over the roads thus vehicles were unable to pass through. This caused the bus that I was on to be stuck in the traffic. I decided to get off the bus and see if there is any other way that I can get to Orchard as there is no guarentee how long I will be stuck in the traffic if I am to wait.

After I got off the bus I passed by the taxi which was struck by the tree branches. It had a huge dent on top of its roof. Hope the taxi driver is ok. I think the taxi driver is going to have a huge headache about the car repairs...
