A concerned commenter emphasised the importance of staying aware on the roads, noting how fortunate it was that the alert driver avoided a collision with the riderless motorcycle.

However, another user pointed out that the driver did not stop to offer assistance after the incident.

In response, the first commenter advised against making hasty judgments based on a brief video clip.

They suggested that the driver might have called for help or pulled over safely further down the expressway rather than stopping in the middle of the road.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told MS News that it was alerted to the accident along the PIE towards Changi at about 10.30pm.

They conveyed one person to the National University Hospital.

MS News has also reached out to the police for further statements on the accident.
