In a distressing hit-and-run incident along the Ayer-Rajah Expressway (AYE) on 22 January, a 47-year-old motorcyclist is seeking justice and assistance after being allegedly struck by an unknown vehicle.
The incident occurred between 7:00 am to 7:26 am, approximately 300 meters ahead of exit 14 along the AYE expressway.
Hit From Behind & Blacked Out, Woke Up On Road Shoulder
The appeal for witnesses comes from the victim’s friend, Fiona Zhou, who took to Facebook to share details of the incident. According to the post, the victim, a friend of the poster, was hit from behind, resulting in a blackout. The motorcyclist’s bike suffered significant damage in the collision.
In a troubling turn of events, the driver responsible for the accident reportedly failed to provide any contact information or assist in calling for an ambulance. Instead, the victim was allegedly dragged to the road shoulder and left there, unconscious.
The injured motorcyclist regained consciousness to find himself on the road shoulder, accompanied by his badly damaged bike neatly parked beside him. Disturbingly, the hit-and-run driver had apparently vanished without leaving any details or rendering aid.
Deaf But Still Managed To Call For Help
Compounding the urgency of the situation, the victim is identified as deaf, adding complexity to the communication and reporting process. Unable to call for assistance himself, the motorcyclist managed to alert friends via video call, who are now seeking crucial information and assistance from potential eyewitnesses.
The Facebook post urgently appeals to anyone who was in the vicinity around 300 meters ahead of exit 14 along the AYE expressway during the specified time. The poster is requesting individuals with dashcam footage of the hit-and-run incident to come forward and provide evidence that could aid in identifying the responsible driver.
As of the latest update, the victim is receiving medical attention in the hospital, highlighting the severity of the injuries sustained in the alleged hit-and-run accident.
The appeal concludes with a direct plea for assistance and information, encouraging potential witnesses to reach out through private messages on Facebook. The urgency of this request is emphasized, underscoring the importance of community support in resolving hit-and-run cases and ensuring justice for the victims.
