During the evening rush hour, traffic is typically busy with commuters eager to get home. This means packed roads and higher chances of accidents occurring.
On Monday (1 Mar), a fatal accident occurred along the East Coast Parkway (ECP). It, unfortunately, claimed the life of a motorcyclist on site.
Speaking to MS News, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was alerted to a traffic accident on 1 Mar at about 6.45pm.
The accident happened along westbound ECP at the Rochor Road exit.
Unfortunately, an SCDF paramedic pronounced a person dead on the scene.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the motorcyclist allegedly sustained fatal injuries after hitting the road divider railing while executing a turn.
The police reportedly closed off the Rochor Road exit for 2.5 hours for investigations.
MS News has reached out to the Singapore Police Force (SPF) for a statement on the incident.
This is yet another painful reminder to be extra careful while driving or riding on the road.
That means we should always keep a lookout for road conditions, and slow down when necessary.
MS News sends our heartfelt condolences to the motorcyclist’s family, and hope he/she can rest in peace.
