Motorcyclist, pillion rider taken to hospital after accident on KJE; driver arrested

Both were taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said in a media reply.

The car driver is assisting with police investigations.

In a video of the aftermath of the accident shared with ST by a reader, a Crime Scene Investigation van can be seen parked on the extreme right lane of the expressway.

Two police cars, a tow truck and a Land Transport Authority traffic marshal’s motorcycle can be seen in front of the police van.

Farther ahead on the first and second lanes of the expressway, several evidence markers are placed near debris strewn on the ground.

A motorcycle can be seen lying on its side behind a parked car on the right-most lane. Evidence markers can be seen on top of the motorcycle and the car.

While motorcycles made up only about 15 per cent of Singapore’s total vehicle population in 2025, motorcyclists and pillion riders were involved in 54.8 per cent of all traffic accidents and accounted for 53 per cent of deaths, according to police statistics released earlier in 2026.

The number of accidents involving motorcyclists jumped from 3,973 cases in 2024, to 4,227 cases in 2025. The number of motorcyclist and pillion rider casualties increased from 4,510 in 2024, to 4,844 in 2025.
