Other motorists, including the camcar and a motorcyclist, had stopped at the junction.
As the cyclist crossed, an oncoming motorcycle — which appeared to have the right of way — slammed into him at considerable speed.
The impact hurled both individuals forward, with the bicycle thrown to the middle of the road and the motorcyclist and his motorbike ending up sprawled across the junction.

Failing to stop at red light is an offence
Under Section 3 of the Road Traffic (Pedestrian Crossings) Rules, pedestrians, cyclists, mobility vehicle users or personal mobility device (PMD) riders must use pedestrian crossings to cross the road when within 50m of one.
In this case, they should cross only when the green man is lit up. Failure to do so constitutes a traffic offence
In March, the Traffic Police (TP) fined 24 pedestrians during a five-day enforcement operation, reported The Straits Times.

Those found not conforming to the red light signals at pedestrian crossings were fined S$50, TP said.
The number of deaths and injuries from traffic incidents reached a five-year high in 2024, with a third of all fatal crashes caused by speeding, according to TP figures released in February.
