Accidents on the road can happen in the blink of an eye, changing lives in an instant. Such was the case on August 5, 2023, when a male motorcyclist and his female pillion rider, both 20 years old, found themselves in a harrowing situation on the Kallang–Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE).
The aftermath of the collision was captured in photos posted on the “Malaysia-Singapore Border Crossers” Facebook group, shedding light on the incident.
A Glimpse at the Scene
The photos shared on social media paint a vivid picture of the unfortunate event. A Malaysia-registered motorcycle lay toppled on the road, right in front of a BMW car.
The male motorcyclist was sprawled on the road, a stark image of the impact. Beside him, the female pillion rider was seen seated on the ground beside him as she assessed the wreckage, both appearing to have endured a traumatic experience. The unsettling scene was further accentuated by a row of cars that had collided on a nearby lane.
In the aftermath of the collision, authorities were quick to respond. The police were alerted to a complex accident involving not only the motorcycle and the BMW, but also five other cars. The severity of the collision was evident in the extent of the damage, as well as the number of vehicles involved.
As the emergency responders arrived at the scene, both individuals were conscious but undoubtedly shaken by the ordeal. They were promptly transported to a hospital for further treatment.
It is unclear how the accident came about, and at the time of writing, police investigations into the multi-vehicular accident is underway.
Netizens’ comments
- Be careful while riding. I’ve been working in spore for almost 30 years… 27 years living in JB driving a motorbike but got into an accident in 97, broken right leg but it has been operated on until now it still hurts.. Can walk but can’t run. Brothers who ride motorcycles be careful. Don’t drive it too fast
- Be very careful when driving on Singapore roads.. Sometimes Singaporeans while driving, they will signal and then enter the lane, sometimes they don’t..
- Singapore style turn and signal at the same time.. Definitely have to have a strong heart driving in Singapore..
