A 30-year-old motorcyclist has died after being involved in a traffic collision with a lorry near West Coast Park on Oct. 20.

Photos circulated on social media, showing traffic police cordoning off an area of a three-way junction with cones, with a visibly damaged motorcycle bearing a Malaysian licence plate lying on its side.

A spot on the road appeared to be bloodstained.

Passers-by can be seen looking on at the site, with traffic police officers managing the flow of traffic.

In response to Mothership's queries, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed that they were alerted to an accident involving a motorcycle and lorry at the junction of West Coast Ferry Road and Harbour Drive around 7:30am that day.

The motorcyclist was unconscious and conveyed to the National University Hospital by the SCDF, where he died.

The 24-year-old male lorry driver was arrested for driving without reasonable consideration causing death.

Police investigations are ongoing.
