S’porean nurse met with accident after entering wrong lane on Causeway
In a statement posted on Facebook on Wednesday night, Johor Bahru (JB) Southern District police chief Raub Selamat said the accident took place along Jalan Tambak Johor — the JB side of the Causeway.
At about 3.20am that morning, the Singaporean was travelling on his motorcycle from Bukit Chagar to the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex, i.e. the checkpoint.
However, he entered the wrong lane, which was meant for cars, and tried to go back against the flow of traffic.
He was believed to have subsequently lost control of his vehicle and swerved to the right side of the road, then hit a road barrier and veered across an acute bend.
The nurse was eventually catapulted from his motorcycle and plunged 10m down from the overpass.
