SINGAPORE – A 26-year-old trailer driver was arrested for careless driving causing grievous hurt after his truck collided with a motorcycle on the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) on November 1, 2024. The accident occurred around 6:25 PM, along the BKE towards Woodlands, before the Turf Club Avenue exit.
The motorcyclist, also aged 26, was conscious and taken to the hospital by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), who responded to the scene. He was transported to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
A TikTok video by user @liah8676 captured the chaotic scene, showing several individuals directing vehicles to stay to the left while an SCDF ambulance and the trailer truck were visible on the rightmost lane.
