Motorcyclist sent tumbling into path of trailer after rear-ending car on PIE

The police are looking for the driver of a trailer who was involved in a three-vehicle accident on the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) on Wednesday (Sept 9) afternoon.

The incident happened at about 3.45pm on PIE towards Changi, before the Bukit Timah exit.

Dashcam footage of the incident submitted to SG Road Vigilante and posted on its Facebook page shows a motorcyclist rear-ending a black Toyota multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).

The impact sends him tumbling to the ground just as the trailer passes to his left.

It is unclear if the motorcyclist was hit by the trailer, although it appears that the motorcycle may have shielded him from any direct impact.

The trailer driver is then seen driving on and does not stop to render assistance.

In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force told AsiaOne that the 49-year-old motorcyclist was taken conscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, adding that he is assisting with ongoing investigations.

Efforts are also underway to track down the trailer driver.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing.

The offences of failing to stop after an accident and failing to lodge a report within 24 hours after an accident each carries a fine of up to $1,000, a jail term of up to three months or both.

Those found guilty of failing to render assistance to the injured could face up to 12 months' imprisonment, a fine of up to $3,000, or both.

警方正在寻找周三（9 月 9 日）下午在泛岛高速公路 (PIE) 上发生的三车相撞事故中的拖车司机。

事件发生在下午 3 点 45 分左右，地点位于 PIE 高速公路往樟宜方向，武吉知马出口之前。

提交给 SG Road Vigilante 并发布在其 Facebook 页面上的行车记录仪视频显示，一名摩托车骑手追尾了一​​辆黑色丰田多用途汽车 (MPV)。

撞击使他摔倒在地，就在这时，拖车从他左侧驶过。

目前尚不清楚摩托车骑手是否被拖车撞到，但摩托车似乎可能保护他免受直接撞击。

随后可以看到拖车司机继续行驶，并没有停车提供帮助。

针对 AsiaOne 的询问，警方和新加坡民防部队告诉 AsiaOne，这名 49 岁的摩托车驾驶员被送往陈笃生医院时意识清醒，并补充说他正在协助进行调查。

目前也在努力追查拖车司机。
