2 motorcyclists, 18 & 39, sent to hospital after collision in Simei

Two motorcyclists were sent to hospital after a collision in Simei on the evening of Apr. 18.

As one rider was making a right turn, the other rider hit him from the side, causing both to be flung off their motorbikes.

The accident

Police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told Mothership that on Apr. 18 at about 7:20pm, they were alerted to the accident along Simei Road towards Somapah Road.

Two motorcycles were involved, police said.

Dashcam footage taken by a car showed a motorcyclist making a right turn from Simei Road to a side road at around 7:18pm.

The rider had signalled right before riding through the yellow box in front of a waiting car.

However, as he was about to complete the turn, a motorcyclist who was going straight collided with him.

Both riders were knocked off their motorbikes.

Both sent to hospital

Police said that two male motorcyclists, aged 18 and 39, were conveyed conscious to the hospital.

SCDF said they were sent to Changi General Hospital.

Police investigations are ongoing.
