A 46-year-old man has been arrested for drink driving after allegedly fleeing the scene of an accident that left a motorcyclist injured in Serangoon in the early hours of Friday, April 3.
The incident occurred at about 12.40 am at the junction of Serangoon North Avenue 1 and Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3. The police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that they were informed about a collision involving a car and a motorcycle.
When officers arrived, the car driver was no longer at the scene. He was later tracked down and arrested. However, the investigations are still ongoing.
The 38-year-old motorcyclist was conscious when he was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital for treatment.
Videos of the aftermath, which have been circulating online, show the injured rider lying on the road shoulder, with his motorcycle a short distance away. Several bystanders can be seen rushing to his aid, highlighting the immediate concern among passers-by.
In the same footage, a man believed to be the driver is seen walking away before getting into a blue car that had been stopped against the flow of traffic. As he drives off, the vehicle appears to strike roadside barricades while turning into a slip road.
The car involved showed visible damage, including a missing left headlight and a damaged front bumper, suggesting the force of the collision.
The authorities have not disclosed further details about the driver but reiterated that investigations are still ongoing.
