Truck Crashes Into E-Bike At Upper Serangoon On 10 Aug
It is necessary for both riders and motorists to adhere to traffic safety rules and exercise caution on the street.
Otherwise, accidents may occur as they had before, with a BMW running a red light and colliding with an e-bike in Sembawang.
Unfortunately, this was also the case in Serangoon, where a truck crashed into an e-bike at a junction.
The impact of the collision flung the rider off their vehicle, and authorities have since conveyed them to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
