Motorcyclist killed in accident along KJE; truck driver arrested for reckless driving

SINGAPORE: A 52-year-old motorcyclist was killed in an accident along the Kranji Expressway (KJE) on Wednesday morning (Oct 23).

In response to CNA’s queries, police said they were alerted to an accident involving a truck, a trailer and a motorcycle along the KJE towards the Pan Island Expressway around 7am on Wednesday.

The crash happened before the Senja Road exit along KJE, the Singapore Civil Defense Force (SCDF) said in a separate statement.

“A 52-year-old male motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic,” police said.

The truck driver, 24, was arrested for reckless driving causing death.

Video of the crash shows a motorcyclist wearing red riding between a white truck and a blue trailer.

As the truck tries to change lanes, it hits the motorcyclist, causing him to crash into the trailer, which then runs him over.

The police investigation is ongoing.
