Motorcyclist Skids Into Road Shoulder After Mercedes Reportedly Cuts Him Off Along AYE
Singapore’s roads can be pretty dangerous at times, and traffic accidents that we hear of from time to time are perhaps a reminder of that.
Recently, a motorcyclist found himself skidding across two lanes on AYE after a Mercedes reportedly driving over the chevron markings and cutting him off.
SCDF conveyed the man to the hospital following the accident. The rider’s father also stated that they plan on taking action against the driver in question.

In the caption, the OP alleged that the driver had “cut off” the motorcyclist by driving over the chevron markings separating the main expressway and the slip road.
Rider reportedly hospitalised after accident
Replying to queries by MS News, Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they received an alert about the incident at about 4.15pm last Saturday (5 Aug).
The accident reportedly occurred along eastbound AYE, near the Keppel Road exit.
The motorcyclist was later conveyed to Singapore General Hospital in a conscious state, reports The Straits Times (ST). Investigations into the accident are currently ongoing.
The rider’s father has also responded to the video, stating that his son was still in the hospital even though his injuries were not serious.

The father even shared that the driver had told him that his son was at fault for the accident.
Now armed with the video, the father shared that he plans on taking action to ensure the driver “stays out from the road for long”.
MS News has reached out to him for more information on the matter.
