SINGAPORE, Nov 12 — Two cyclists were killed in separate collisions with tipper trucks in Singapore within 24 hours, a 37-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man, in two locations in the east of the island, raising fresh concern about cyclist safety on the roads.
Katong: 37-year-old woman killed, driver arrested
The first accident happened at about 3.15pm on Wednesday, November 11, at the junction of Amber Road and Amber Gardens in Katong. Police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) responded, and an SCDF paramedic pronounced the 37-year-old woman dead at the scene. A 47-year-old male tipper truck driver was arrested for driving without reasonable consideration causing death. Police investigations are ongoing.
Changi: 24-year-old man killed in the morning
Less than 24 hours later, at about 8am on Thursday, November 12, a second fatal collision happened on Tanah Merah Coast Road towards Aviation Park Road in Changi. The 24-year-old male cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic. A 38-year-old male tipper truck driver is assisting police with investigations.
Background: cyclist accidents rose by about a quarter last year
