A MAN died when his motorcycle collided with car at a junction between Moulmein Road and a slip road into CTE near Ang Mo Kio on Thursday.

Mr Seah Kin Huat, 54, was travelling along Moulmein Road towards Balestier when the bike hit a car turning right at the junction.

Both Mr Seah and his pillion rider, a woman in her 50s, were rushed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

Mr Seah suffered a fractured right rib and developed a blood clot in his chest. He died in hospital at 11.15am.

The woman sustained abrasions on her right knee and had back pains. She was discharged on the same day.

Less than 12 hours later, another rider died when his motorcycle skidded along the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) at 8.40pm.

Mr Loh Hern Sern, in his 20s, was travelling along the AYE towards Tuas when his bike skidded and veered towards the left, hitting the railing.

He was thrown off the vehicle and landed in a drain.

Mr Loh was initially conscious when he was rushed to National University Hospital but died at 9.45pm.

Another serious bike accident took place at about 5.50pm that day leaving a rider severely injured and in intensive care.

The rider, in his 50s, was travelling along the ECP towards the AYE when his bike crashed into a lorry emerging from a slip road.

The rider sustained serious head injuries and was rushed unconscious to Singapore General Hospital.
