Man taken to hospital after collision with another cyclist along Upper Thomson Road

SINGAPORE: A man was taken to hospital following a collision with another cyclist along Upper Thomson Road on Sunday (Apr 16) morning.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force and the police said they were alerted to the incident at about 6.40am. 

The police said the accident involved two cyclists along Upper Thomson Road towards Sembawang Road, and that a 49-year-old man was conscious when taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

Police investigations are ongoing. 

In a Facebook post on Sunday night, a woman who identified herself as the injured man’s wife said that a “peloton of crazy cyclists” caused the collision with her husband, Mr Andy Oh. 

Ms Serlina Eng said the group let their “egos get the better of them”, ignored the safety of others and rode off despite hearing shouts and screams from her cycling group.

“No regard for the safety of others or even stopping when they hear a crash. And trust me, cyclists can hear a crash a mile away, it’s the most dreaded sound,” she wrote.
