A motorcyclist was left lying on the road after his bike
collided with a taxi along Paris Ris Drive 1 yesterday afternoon at
around 5pm.
A Stomp contributor had called the Civil Defence upon hearing a
loud bang and seeing the accident site.
Here is an eye-witness' account from Stomp:
"I heard a loud bang outside my house along Pasir Ris Drive 1 at
about 5pm.
"I saw this motorcyclist lying on the road.
"SCDF responded to my call within three minutes, I presumed
there were other calls ahead of mine.
"The accident vehicles took up both lanes so the traffic along
Drive 1 was a virtual standstill.
"Cars were making illegal U-turns at the pedestrians traffic
crossing.
"A SCDF personnel directed and moved traffic so that the
ambulance could reach the accident site.
"Police came at about 5:30pm.
"The biker had apparently hit the taxi's rear windscreen.
Fragments of glass were on the road.
"I saw that the taxi was slightly slanted to the left lane."
