As many of us were chilling in the comforts of our home on Saturday (9 May) night, a motorcyclist was flung off his bike as he was travelling along an uneven section of Bedok North Road.
Thankfully, members of the pubic were there to render help to the rider.
A netizen named Filza Musa took to Facebook past midnight on Sunday (10 May) to recount the accident and urged fellow motorists to be careful while travelling there.
According to the post, the accident occurred at around 9pm on Saturday (9 May) along Bedok North Road.
Unlike many other accidents which involved vehicles colliding with one another, this one apparently occurred due to uneven road conditions.
In the picture below, a noticeable depression can be seen in the middle of the 2 lanes.
The rider apparently lost control of his bike and was flung onto the T junction connecting Bedok North Road and New Upper Changi Road.

Thankfully, members of the public around the area rendered help to the motorcyclist.
If you’re not familiar with the area, here’s where the accident took place.
Apparently, another incident had happened earlier at the same spot earlier in the day at around 5pm.
Feeling shookened by the incident, Filza has since lodged a report to the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to rectify the road condition.
She also took the opportunity to warn fellow road users to be careful when travelling there.
As of 10:10am on Sunday (10 May), MS News understands that the section of the road has been fixed overnight.
Kudos to the LTA for fixing the road within such a short period of time.
We hope the motorcyclist involved in the incident wasn’t severely injured and that he will recover quickly.
