Three people were taken to hospital after an accident involving a motorcycle and a personal mobility aid (PMA) at Hill Street towards Victoria Street on Oct 3.

Stomper Missy alerted Stomp to the accident and shared photos of the aftermath.

Photos shared by Missy show a red motorcycle and a PMA lying on the road after the impact.

Both riders are lying on the ground.

A boy wearing a yellow T-shirt is seen standing over the PMA rider and crying.

According to a video posted on ROADS.sg's Facebook page, the traffic light in favour of the motorcycle when the collision happened.


The PMA was crossing the road when the motorcycle hit its side, causing the riders of both the motorcycle and PMA to fall to the road.

Passers-by were seen rushing to help.


In response to a Stomp query, the police said they were alerted to the accident at 10.10am.

"A 22-year-old male motorcyclist, a 63-year-old male PMA rider and his six-year-old male passenger were conveyed conscious to the hospital," a police spokesperson said.

"The 63-year-old male PMA rider is assisting with investigations."

According to the Active Mobility Act, only one person is allowed to ride on a PMA, as they are designed to carry a single individual who has difficulty walking.

PMA lookalikes typically have more than one seat for pillion riders and are classified as personal mobility devices (PMDs), which are allowed only on cycling and shared paths but not footpaths.

Police investigations are ongoing.

PMD user dies in hospital after falling onto tracks at Fajar LRT station on Nov 19​

SMRT staff immediately turned off the traction power after the man fell onto the tracks.

Nov 28, 2025

SINGAPORE – A 64-year-old man died in hospital after he fell onto the tracks at Fajar LRT station on Nov 19.

In response to queries, SMRT Trains president Lam Sheau Kai said that a passenger on a personal mobility device (PMD) fell onto the tracks at Fajar station on the Bukit Panjang LRT line at about 9.35pm that day.

“Our staff immediately activated the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) for assistance and filed a police report,” said Mr Lam.

The man was not struck by any incoming train, as SMRT’s operations control centre had promptly switched off traction power, Mr Lam added.

SMRT is cooperating with the police in their investigations, he said.

The police said they were alerted to the incident at about 9.35pm, and the man was found lying motionless on the train tracks.

The SCDF took the man to the Woodlands Health Campus, where he later died.

Based on preliminary investigations, the police said they do not suspect any foul play.

Police investigations are ongoing.

A drunk passenger had, late on Oct 27, fallen onto the tracks at Bangkit LRT station, with SMRT staff activating the emergency stop plunger that switched off the traction power at the station.

Bangkit station is also part of the Bukit Panjang LRT line.

LRT station platforms have fixed barriers, with gaps allowing passengers to board and alight from trains. SMRT has safety features, including an artificial intelligence-powered video analytics system launched in 2023, for passenger safety at LRT stations.

In contrast, MRT stations are fitted with screen doors.

In a parliamentary reply in February, Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat said it is not practical to install platform screen doors at LRT stations.

Such screen doors require power supply, communications and signal control equipment, and would reduce the waiting area for passengers in LRT stations if installed, since such stations are smaller than MRT stations.

New number plate plan to crack down on dangerous trend taking over Aussie roads​

Parents could be issued fines when their children break the rules on e-bikes under a new proposal in the country's most populous state. The plan, aimed at curbing bad behaviour amid a surge in the devices, would also mandate licences and number plates on shared electronic bikes.

The NSW Liberal Party has vowed to roll out the crackdown should they win office in 2027, as uptake rises across the state and the country.

For many, e-bikes are a convenient and efficient means of transportation. But they have drawn criticism in recent times for their speed and lack of regulation.

Communities have long called for change in NSW, with modified electronic devices in particular posing a major safety risk.

Now, the opposition has pledged to roll out a suite of changes should they win the upcoming election.

Liberal transport spokeswoman Natalie Ward told The Daily Telegraph that children, food delivery riders and share bikes would need licence plates under her proposal.

The registration would be held in the parents' name but linked to the child, and it could be transferred between different bikes.

Under the proposal, NSW Police would be able to issue fines to parents when kids are caught hooning on illegal bikes, riding recklessly on footpaths, or skipping helmets.

Commercial e-bike users would also need number plates, allowing food delivery riders to be identified and fined when they flout laws.

The fines would go to the company first, and it would then have to confirm who was on the bike when the offence occurred.

Over 1100 children were hospitalised this year after being injured by riding non-motorised bikes and scooters, the Telegraph reported.

November saw first-time MP Kellie Sloane take the reins as NSW Liberal leader, unseating Mark Speakman in a spill that mirrors broader shifts unfolding across the party nationally.

But despite the new leadership, the Liberals remain increasingly vulnerable heading into the 2027 election, weighed down by softening polls and ongoing internal tensions.

At this stage, many experts tip Labor to hold a clear advantage when voters head to the polls.

Christmas e-bike warning to parents​

Around 600,000 households now own an e-bike in NSW, with many more expected to buy one this Christmas.

In response, the Government is now moving to reduce the maximum legal power output of e-bikes in NSW to 250 watts, in line with the rest of the country.

This reverses a previous regulatory change that increased the power limit to 500 watts, which led to a wave of high-powered bikes that act more like "electric motorbikes than pedal-assisted bicycles" on NSW roads, the state government said.

The definition of an e-bike is also being reviewed in road rules to close loopholes that allow motorcycle-level devices to be sold and ridden as though they are bicycles.

While Minister for Transport John Graham said E-bikes are fantastic for getting kids outside and active, they need to be safe.

E-bikes soar in popularity in Australia​

E-bikes have exploded in number across Australian cities, but their rise hasn’t come without serious concerns.

A small number of high-profile incidents — including the deaths of several young riders in Queensland in the space of days — have intensified scrutiny, with authorities warning that speed, inexperience, and a lack of proper safety gear are a dangerous mix.

Many of the bikes are capable of travelling far faster than a standard pushbike, and riders often aren’t trained to handle that extra power.

Another challenge is the way some younger users operate them in groups, weaving through traffic or taking over footpaths in fast-moving packs.

This behaviour not only puts the riders themselves at risk but also creates hazards for pedestrians, drivers, and other cyclists who may not expect such sudden bursts of speed.

Police and councils have repeatedly pointed to this as one of the biggest safety issues on urban roads.

Communities, transport experts, and road safety advocates have been calling for tighter regulation for years.
