Learner motorcyclist has freak accident at rooftop driving circuit
She lost control of her motorbike during a lesson and plunged two storeys.
Miss Nur Amalina Md Juffri was having her fourth lesson at the Singapore Safety Driving Centre (SSDC).
She was navigating a bend on the open-air circuit which is on the fifth-storey roof.
Ten minutes into her motorbike lesson, she accelerated instead of braking and hit a 1m high wall.
The impact flung her off the motorbike. She then crashed through the steel mesh between the fence and wall, and fell onto the third-floor ledge.
Officers from the Singapore Civil Defence Force used ropes and a stretcher to lift Miss Nur Amalina to the third storey where an ambulance was waiting.
A manager at the SSDC told The New Paper that the centre immediately secured and strengthened the steel mesh to prevent another accident from occurring. The centre is also considering raising the height of the wall and putting up warning signs as riders approach the bend.
Police investigations are ongoing.
