Second Lieutenant (2LT) Chan Wei Kit Nicholas was found pinned under a Land Rover in Seletar Camp this morning.

He was inspecting the vehicle when it rolled backwards and hit him.

A recovery vehicle was activated to lift the Land Rover, and a medical team comprising an SAF doctor and two medics from the Seletar Medical Centre attempted to resuscitate 2LT Chan immediately, according to a statement from the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF).

2LT Chan was then sent to the Changi General Hospital (CGH).

The SAF doctor and medics continued their attempts to resuscitate him en route to the hospital.

2LT Chan was pronounced dead at 1.07pm at CGH.

2LT Chan, a full-time National Serviceman (NSF), was a Motor Transport Officer. He was taking delivery of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Land Rover in Seletar Camp when the incident happened. The Land Rover had been sent there for servicing.

MINDEF and the SAF extend their deepest condolences to the family of the late 2LT Chan.

MINDEF will assist the family in their time of grief and is investigating the incident.
