While others may have driven past, one road user chose to stop and help after witnessing an accident on Tuesday (July 21).<\/p>\n
Following an alleged collision between a motorcyclist and a cyclist at a zebra crossing, one man stepped in to assist those involved before later sharing his experience online.<\/p>\n
It is unclear how the alleged collision occurred, but based on the dashcam footage uploaded to Instagram by user @abanghondaaa, the incident occurred at around 12.33pm.<\/p>\n
The man explained that the post was not intended to gain attention or attract views. Instead, he said his goal was to encourage others to lend a helping hand whenever they come across similar situations.<\/p>\n
He recounted that he was on his way home after sending his brother to school when he came across the incident.<\/p>\n
The dashcam footage shows him driving towards the Central Expressway (CTE) in the direction of the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE), near Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2A.<\/p>\n
As he approached a zebra crossing, he stopped after noticing a cyclist lying on the ground, who had allegedly been struck by a motorcyclist.<\/p>\n
“I saw a cyclist and a motorcyclist had just crashed and knew I had to react fast,” he wrote in the video’s caption.<\/p>\n
The man subsequently got out of his car and approached the cyclist together with the motorcyclist. The cyclist was still lying on the ground.<\/p>\n
Passers-by were also seen stopping to help, and the man said in the video that he “had to ask for more help to block the traffic as it’s a one-way road and traffic was starting to build up”.<\/p>\n
He then noticed the motorcyclist struggling to lift his bike, so he asked a passer-by to stay with the cyclist while he helped the motorcyclist lift the bike.<\/p>\n
“The cyclist couldn’t move as he was in so much pain, so I couldn’t move him into the shade. I had to improvise, so his umbrella was the next best bet,” the man wrote in the video.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The biker seemed to be in distress, so I told him to calm down and sit down after I briefly assessed his injuries.”<\/p>\n
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) subsequently arrived and was seen assessing the cyclist’s injuries, along with officers from the Traffic Police.<\/p>\n
“I gave all the information I knew to help them and let them do their work while providing assistance to the cyclist,” the man said.<\/p>\n
The man was then seen holding an umbrella over the cyclist while SCDF officers assessed his injuries.<\/p>\n
The man reiterated that his purpose of posting is mainly to encourage others to help in whatever way they can when they encounter similar situations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“You never know your actions could save a life one day. Help whenever you can, because you never know if one day you might need help from others too.”<\/p>\n
The man added that he was relieved that both the cyclist and the motorcyclist were fine after the incident, and “wished them a speedy recovery”.<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the police said they were alerted to an accident involving a motorcyclist and a cyclist along the slip road from Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 to the CTE towards the SLE at about 12.40pm on July 21.<\/p>\n
A 81-year-old male cyclist was taken conscious to Khoo Teck Puat hospital.<\/p>\n
Police investigations are ongoing\u00a0<\/p>\n
AsiaOne has contacted the poster and SCDF for more information.<\/p>\n
