This fatal accident involving a motorcyclist occured right on the road which my block is facing about noon time on Deepavali. It was directly outside the window. I did not know how it happened but when I was closing the windows to leave the house, I saw a small crowd has gathered around the accident scene. I suspect the yellow lorry in the foreground (partially hidden in photo) might be the culprit responsible for this accident. I suspect it made a u-turn at the traffic light further down after it realised that it has hit the poor motorcyclist. You can see that the traffic police has set up something like a tent (blue in color) to cover the body.
Recently, someone obviously prayed with food offerings at the spot where the body was placed and I can see crows flying down to pick on the left-behinds, and the traffic police has also set up a notice board here asking for witnesses of this fatal accident. If you want to ask me if I felt eerie or afraid because someone has died in the full view of my window, I’ll tell you not to worry about it. After all, I ain’t the one who is responsible for the motorcyclist’s death. |
Anyway, this is what happened according to the news on CNA:
In another accident on Tuesday, a 20-year-old motorcyclist was fatally injured after he hit a lamp post while negotiating a turn at Jurong West Central at around 11am.
Ravichandran Vasanthan, a Singaporean, was pronounced dead at the scene.
