SINGAPORE: The Singapore Police Force has confirmed that the 41-year-old male cyclist who was sent to the hospital in an unconscious state after crashing into a car at Bugis has succumbed to his injuries.
The cyclist was taken to the hospital after a serious collision that took place early on Thursday morning (June 19), after he seemed to run a red light.
The accident occurred at around 6:30 am along Victoria Street, in the direction of Kallang Road. According to footage shared on Facebook by SG Road Vigilante, the cyclist appeared to be riding on the sidewalk and allegedly ignored the red light signal at the pedestrian crossing.
The video shows the cyclist entering the road against the red light before being struck by an oncoming car. The impact flung both the cyclist and his bicycle into the air before they landed heavily on the ground.
The injured man was conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital for treatment. The 44-year-old male driver of the car is assisting police with their investigations.
