A 19-year-old male motorcyclist was taken to hospital on Sunday (March 1) afternoon after an accident with a car in Bukit Timah.<\/p>\n

The accident happened at about 2.10pm at the junction of Upper Bukit Timah Road and Jalan Asas.<\/p>\n

\"Where<\/p>\n

A series of pictures posted on its Facebook page by SG Road Vigilante show a red Honda Jazz hatchback stopped between the second and third lanes of Upper Bukit Timah Road.<\/p>\n

Checks by AsiaOne show that there are double white lines drawn between the two said lanes. This means that no motorist shall cross or straddle these lines.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether the car driver had crossed the double white lines.<\/p>\n

A motorcycle, with a thermal bag used by food delivery riders, was lying on its side in front of the said Honda hatchback.<\/p>\n

Responding to AsiaOne’s queries, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force said the 19-year-old was taken conscious to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.<\/p>\n

The police added that the investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
