Motorcyclist seen crashing into wall after overtaking along KPE slip road

A 29-year-old motorcyclist was sent to the hospital on Sunday (5 July) morning after he crashed into a wall in the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) tunnel.

Dashcam footage posted by ROADS.sg on Facebook showed the motorcycle smacking into the concrete barrier without being hit by any other motorists.

In the clip, which has a timestamp of 6.13am on 5 July, the motorcyclist started off riding in the far-left lane of the KPE, which branches off into a slip road.

But the motorcyclist appeared to lose control and veer too far to the left, hitting the concrete barrier.

This caused the motorcycle to fall on its left side, throwing the motorcyclist onto the road.

The motorcycle spun across the road, intruding dangerously into the path of oncoming vehicles, while the motorcyclist rolled on the road several times.

The video ended with the motorcycle lying partially in the centre lane and the motorcyclist lying in a crouched position on the road shoulder.
