SINGAPORE - A 62-year-old man died after an accident involving the electric bicycle he was riding collided with a tipper truck at Cecil Street towards Collyer Quay on Friday (Nov 18) morning.

The man was pronounced dead on the scene by paramedics and a 54-year-old tipper truck driver was arrested for causing death by a negligent act, police said. Investigations are ongoing.

A video of the scene after the accident was posted on Facebook road safety community page Roads.sg.
