A netizen surnamed Wang, who identified herself as the motorcyclist’s girlfriend, posted an appeal for information in a Facebook group named JB Traffic Information Sharing on Friday (1 May).
She said her boyfriend had met with an accident between 3.20pm and 3.30pm on 28 April, near the intersection with the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE).
A photo she shared showed his motorcycle lying on its side in the centre lane at the 11.5km mark of the SLE. Some white skid marks could be seen on the road around it.
