SINGAPORE: A delivery rider was injured and taken to hospital following a collision on Joo Chiat Road yesterday (June 21). The accident occurred near the intersection with Faree Road just after midday.

Eyewitness Eijaz Farid, who happened to be passing by at the time, recorded footage of the aftermath and uploaded it to TikTok.

The video showed the delivery rider lying on the side of the road, with around five to six bystanders tending to him. One person was seen holding an umbrella to shield the injured man from the scorching sun, while others appeared to be checking on his condition and offering assistance.

The rider’s motorcycle was found overturned on its left side, with a large insulated delivery bag still strapped to the back seat. Scattered food packaging and broken vehicle parts were strewn across the road.

Farid said he witnessed the rider being knocked down by a car at around 12:23 pm.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed that it received a call about the accident at 12:25 pm and that it conveyed one injured person to Changi General Hospital.

Investigations are ongoing.
