SINGAPORE - A cyclist wearing dark clothing was knocked down at a
pedestrian junction by a speeding cabby.
In a
video posted on Facebook by SG Share, the cyclist can be seen
attempting to cross the pedestrian junction when there is a red
light.
A taxi
driver that presumably does not see him speeds through him causing
him to fall.
Unbelievably the cyclist gets up from what could have been a
catastrophic accident seemingly unhurt from the collision.
Clutching his bike, he staggers the rest of the way across the
pedestrian crossing to safety.
According to the description accompanying the video, the incident
happened in the vicinity of Chevrons at Boon Lay Way.
People
who watched the video had much criticism for the cyclist - for
attempting to make the crossing during the red light as well as for
the fact that he had been dressed in dark clothing with no
reflectors or lights to help drivers in spotting him.
Some,
however, pointed out that the cabby had been approaching the
junction too fast making it difficult and dangerous for him to have
stopped in time to prevent a collision.
