An accident took place at the junction of Serangoon Central and Upper Serangoon Road, involving a collision between an e-bike rider and an oncoming truck.
The Scene Unfolds: E-Bike Riders vs. Traffic Lights
The dashcam footage showed two e-bike cyclists, one dressed in blue and the other in white, navigating the road.
What sets this scene apart is the traffic signal, which displayed a glaring red hand, indicating a clear instruction for pedestrians and cyclists to halt.
Despite the glaring red signal, the e-bike riders continued their journey, crossing the road divider. As they moved ahead, the rider in white impulsively decided to overtake the rider in blue.
The rider in blue, displaying a sense of caution, slowed down as he reached the midpoint of the road, taking a look towards the left to check for any oncoming vehicles.
In stark contrast, the rider in white chose to ignore the need for caution and accelerated forward. As fate would have it, a yellow truck, moving at considerable speed, came hurtling towards the junction.
The yellow truck, with the right of way, collided with the e-bike. The collision was violent, knocking the rider off the e-bike and sending them crashing to the ground, with the e-bike turning into a mangled messy wreck on the road and the rider tossing around on the ground.
