An elderly cyclist suffered a broken wrist after faceplanting on a path, which was purportedly uneven.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred at the Jurong Circular bridge, near the Ulu Pandan Park Connector, at noon on April 18, reported Shin Min Daily News.<\/p>\n
Avid cyclist Lu Youcong (transliteration), 71, said that he and his friend bike across the bridge weekly on their journey from Bukit Batok to West Coast, and back.<\/p>\n
But their routine ride took a turn on April 18 when Lu supposedly rode over an uneven surface, sending him sprawling to the ground.<\/p>\n
“I fell face-down. My eyebrow bled, and my eye later bruised,” he described. “I felt some pain in my right wrist, and continued cycling slowly after I crawled up.”<\/p>\n
Two days after his fall, Lu visited a clinic and learnt that his wrist was fractured.<\/p>\n
“Now I can’t do anything, I have no strength in my right hand, and I can’t exercise for now,” he told Shin Min.<\/p>\n
The injured cyclist added that he was thankfully wearing a helmet.<\/p>\n
“My friend immediately reported the situation on OneService. I think the public should still be careful, as uneven roads are very dangerous,” he said.<\/p>\n
When a Shin Min reporter visited the bridge on April 22, several workers were seen working near the accident site, believed to be repairing the ground.<\/p>\n
