An accident took place in Upper Jurong Road on Wednesday morning and that caused the death of a motorcyclist.
Police said that they were alerted to the incident that happens in Upper Jurong Road towards Pioneer Road North at around 7 am. When the officers reached the location they found a motionless body of a 33-year-old motorcyclist.

The victim of that incident was taken to the Changi General Hospital and reports stated that she was on life support. The son of the 60-year-old victim said that his mother had several traumatic injuries on her head due to the accident.
The son of the victim also clarified that his mother was apparently briskly walking along a shared path for joggers and cyclists on the Tampines Park Connector when the 17-year-old bicycle rider hit her.
