She had fallen into a coma after the accident while waiting at the scene to be conveyed to the hospital, with the accident allegedly involving several motorists.
A motorcycle towing firm, Sin Mah Bike Towing, posted about the incident o Facebook on Tuesday (11 April) appealing for dashcam footage of the accident.
They said in their facebook post that the fatal accident took place on that day along the Tuas Second Link that killed the female motorcyclist.
The accident had purportedly taken place at about 9.28 pm.
The deceased’s brother in law, Mr Sooriya Narayana Moorthy Rao, said that the accident had taken place from between 8.40 pm to 9.30 pm.
He said that his sister in law had been hit after a vehicle, likely to be a either a car or a van, had switched lanes from the third lane to the second lane without signalling, resulting in the collision.
After that, another motorcycle then came from behind and ran over the victim’s body.
The family is appealing for dashcam footage or any witnesses of the accident to come forward.
Recent spate of accidents along Tuas 2nd Link
Another motorcyclist was previously killed in a freak accident along the Tuas Second Link on 5 April after running over a piece of metal on the road and losing control of the bike, before crashing.
The motorcycle was a Johor registered bike, and that accident reportedly took place on Wednesday at about 10.15 pm.
A netizen posted about the accident on the Malaysia-Singapore Border Crossers(MSBC) 马新过境者 Facebook group, showing the victim’s body on the road with a lot of blood, as hordes of motorists surrounded the immediate area.
The body was later covered by what appeared to be a blanket with bloodstains on it.
A motorcycle towing company, Sin Mah Bike Towing, posted about the accident on Facebook with photos and information about the accident, as they tried to reach out to the family of the rider.
Witnesses of the accident had said that the rider had apparently ridden his motorcycle over a piece of metal on the road and lost control of his bike, before crashing and ultimately taking the motorcyclist’s life.
It is unclear how the piece of metal had ended up on the road, but some netizens had speculated that perhaps it had fallen off a lorry or a container truck.
In a subsequent update, Sin Mah Bike Towing said that they managed to locate and reach out to the motorcyclist’s family.
