4 people were sent to the hospital following a collision between 2 motorcyclists and their pillion riders on 21 March along the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE).
The accident happened on 21 March at about 10.40 pm along the BKW and was captured on the dashcam of another vehicle that was behind at the time.
The accident happened very quickly, with one of the motorcycles seen in the video cutting sharply across the middle lane from the right side of the road.
However, it appears that the motorcycle didn’t notice another oncoming motorcycle on the left lane approaching from behind.
The motorcycle that cut across from the right, then hit the oncoming motorcycle on the left, resulting in both riders losing balance on their bikes.
The motorcyclists and their respective pillion riders were then thrown off their motorcycles and sent tumbling down the road as their bikes skidded, with one of the bikes also seen generating sparks after hitting another car that was ahead.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that they were alerted to the accident at about 10.45 pm along BKE, heading towards the Woodlands Checkpoints before the exit at Woodlands Avenue 3.
They said that they conveyed 4 people to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, although the current conditions of the motorcyclists and their pillion riders are not clear at the moment.
