A video of a personal mobility device (PMD) resting under a truck next to its wheel has been circulating online since Nov. 5, 2019.

The exact location of the apparent collision in Singapore has not been confirmed.

A video of the accident's aftermath was uploaded to Facebook by Zing Ner, who said there were two eyewitnesses at the scene.

The user added that the PMD rider reportedly failed to brake in time, and rammed into the truck as it was waiting to make a turn.

The same video was also posted by Facebook page Roads.sg on Nov. 7, along with a commentary in Hokkien and a smattering of Mandarin and English.

According to the Facebook page, the incident occurred on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

In less than two days, it has received over 1,500 shares and 450 comments.

Sent to hospital

Paramedics from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) were seen conversing with some people in the video.

A middle-aged man in a blue and white polo tee was describing what transpired after the collision while gesturing at the truck.

According to the man in polo tee, the PMD rider had said that he felt "very hot".

The man then asked if he was feeling okay, and if he was alright with being carried.

When the PMD rider agreed, the man carried him away from the truck.

According to Roads.sg, the PMD rider allegedly sustained light injuries and was sent to the hospital afterwards.
