A 37-year-old motorcyclist passed away after his bike collided with a lorry along Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) towards Woodlands, near the Kranji Expressway exit, on Dec. 16 night.

The aftermath of the fatal incident was caught on camera by a vehicle driver passing by the scene.

The footage was subsequently uploaded to Facebook.

What the footage showed

In the video, a blue tent could be seen along the leftmost lane of BKE.

Several objects, believed to be the motorcyclist's belongings, were scattered on the ground.

A lorry was parked in front of the tent, and a traffic police officer could be seen standing to its side, near the driver's seat.

At least two police vehicles were present at the scene.

In the photos attached to the end of the footage, a trail of blood could be seen next to the motorcycle, which was lying on its side along the road.

The motorcycle appeared to be a Malaysia-registered vehicle, based on a photo of its number plate included in the video.

In response to Mothership's queries, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they were alerted to the incident at around 8pm on Dec. 16.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic.
