A 41-year-old man, a car driver, is assisting with investigations.

Photo of accident

A photo of the aftermath of the accident showed a person lying on the left-most lane of the BKE beside the newly-installed orange mobile speed camera.

A number of motorcyclists stopped to assist the person lying on the road.

One of them was seen redirecting traffic.

Camera new at location

The speed camera at the 9km mark on the BKE towards Woodlands, after the Turf Club Avenue exit, has been operational since Jul. 1, the police said previously.

It was placed at the location since Jun. 16 for testing and calibration.

That stretch of the BKE is known to be accident-prone.

Motorists are advised to keep within the 90km/h speed limit on the expressway at all times, the police said previously as well.
