Car & Aetos auxiliary police motorcycle collide in Woodlands, motorcyclist tumbles onto road

A car collided with an Aetos auxiliary police motorcycle in Woodlands on Feb. 24.

The motorcyclist, an auxiliary police officer, was sent tumbling onto the road.

A video of the incident at Woodlands Centre Road at around 6:35am on Tuesday was put up on Facebook.

Travelling along bend

The motorcycle was travelling along a bend on the right-most lane when it got side-swiped by the car approaching from the left.

The car driver subsequently exited the vehicle to check on the rider who was on the road.

Officer recovering

Aetos said in response to Mothership's queries that the officer has received medical treatment and is recovering.

The matter is under police investigation, Aetos added.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed that one person was conveyed to Woodlands Hospital.

Responses

Responses to the incident were divided.

Those who blamed the car driver said he was changing lanes at a bend, which he should not have done.

Those who blamed the motorcyclist said he could have travelled slower in preparation to stop along the road that was experiencing a build-up in traffic.

However, some noted that the motorcycle's brake lights did come on when approaching the car that had cut into its lane.
