A 41-year-old food delivery rider was killed following a fatal traffic accident involving two other cars along Hougang on Sunday (5 March) afternoon.
The 41-year-old was conveyed to the hospital after the accident, and he later succumbed to his injuries and eventually died.
Shin Min Daily News reported that the accident took place on 5 March at about 2.50pm at the junction of Hougang Avenue 8 and Hougang Avenue 4.
A witness who lives nearby the accident site, Mr Hong, told SMDN that he was at home when he heard a loud noise from outside.
He went out to see what happened and saw that an accident had occurred at the road junction, involving a black car and a white SUV.
Hong added that he also saw the motorcyclist lying down on the ground beside the two vehicles and appeared to be visibly injured.
Several members of the public were seen trying to render aid to the stricken motorcyclist as others opened their umbrellas to shield him from the rain.
His motorcycle was also seen to be about 10 metres away from him, such was the impact of the accident that purportedly sent him flying from his bike.
The driver of the white SUV, which was involved in the accident, told SMDN that he stopped in front of the traffic light at the time, wanting to turn right and drive down Hougang Avenue 4.
But he then crashed into a black car, and the black car then crashed into the motorcycle, sending the motorcyclist flying and landing on the road divider.
The rider appeared to have broken his leg as it had become twisted.
The Singapore Police Force confirmed the accident and said that the food delivery rider had slipped into a coma after the accident, before passing away at the hospital.
At the time of writing, police investigations are ongoing…
