The Singapore Civil Defence Force said both the motorcyclist and passenger were taken to Changi General Hospital.

Mr Sia, who took photos of the scene, said he did not see a white car there. A taxi driver and a cyclist had stopped to help, he said.
"We just helped the aunty (female pillion rider) to the side of the road," he said.
Mr Sia said the ambulance arrived about five minutes later and drove off with both victims, adding that he hopes anyone who caught the incident on their dashcam would come forward.
