Accident along KPE, towards MCE at Tampines flyover, on the 4th of July 2017 at 9:33am. Involving 3 cars and 1 motor cyclist. This motor cyclist helmet flew off upon contact. All motor cyclist must only wear an approved helmet and ensure that it is a good fit to suit your head. Wearing a loose or unsecured helmet that comes off in a crash is the same as not wearing one at all. A good approved helmet when worn correctly and strapped snugly is the most important safety protective gear for any motor cyclist. The helmet protects your brain, your face and your life. Hope the motor cyclist is alright. Credit: Mel Wee
