Motorcyclist, 25, taken to hospital after accident at Woodlands

SINGAPORE – A man was taken to hospital while conscious after an accident involving a motorcyclist and a truck on the morning of Dec 6.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the accident at Woodlands Centre Road at about 8.20am.

The police and SCDF said that a 25-year-old motorcyclist was conscious when taken to Woodlands Health Campus.

Police investigations are ongoing.

In a video of the accident shared on the Both Checkpoint Facebook group, a motorcycle is seen lying between two lanes, beside a traffic crossing, with some debris strewn across a stretch of the road nearby.

A man wearing a motorcycle helmet is lying on the pavement nearby, while another man is seen attending to him.

A man in a yellow top bearing the letters KKL is seen using a mobile phone at the junction, just metres from a truck with the same logo. The truck appears to have been making a right turn, but is now stationary in the middle of the junction as other vehicles make their way past it.

Checks by The Straits Times show the livery KKL belongs to Koh Kock Leong Enterprise. According to its website, it is a “Singapore civil engineering and construction firm primarily engaged in earthworks, earthmoving, cable and pipe laying (installations), road reinstatement, supply of construction and building materials, transport and waste disposal services”.

ST has contacted the company for more information.
