A full-time National Serviceman (NSF), Second Lieutenant (2LT) Chan Wei Kit Nicholas, a Motor Transport Officer, was taking delivery of a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Land Rover in Seletar Camp at about 11.30am. The Land Rover had been sent there for servicing. 2LT Chan was inspecting the vehicle when it rolled backwards and hit him. 2LT Chan was found pinned under the vehicle.

A recovery vehicle was activated at about 12.00pm and managed to lift the Land Rover at 12.30pm. A medical team comprising an SAF doctor and two medics from the Seletar Medical Centre attempted to resuscitate 2LT Chan immediately. He was sent to the Changi General Hospital (CGH) at about 12.35pm and he arrived at the hospital at about 12.50pm. 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.

The Ministry of Defence (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.
