SINGAPORE - A 26-year-old driver was arrested for careless driving causing grievous hurt after his trailer truck collided with a motorcycle on Wednesday.
The motorcyclist, also 26, was taken to the hospital conscious.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it was alerted to the accident along Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) towards Woodlands, before Turf Club Avenue exit, at about 6.25pm.

Two lanes on the expressway are cordoned off with traffic cones, with a police car and an Emas Recovery vehicle parked near the trailer.
