  "account": "On the morning of October 1, a motorcyclist lost his life after colliding with a lorry on the PIE (Peninsular Highway) near Changi Airport. The police and Singapore Civil Defence Force received reports of the accident around 9:50 AM. Upon arrival at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the 28-year-old motorcyclist, who had been rendered unconscious, succumbed to his injuries. The 48-year-old lorry driver is currently cooperating with investigators. Footage shared on social media shows multiple police vehicles and tow trucks at the scene, with someone in a light-colored vest seen inspecting the motorcycle further down the road. According to recent statistics, road traffic accidents and casualties in the first half of 2026 have been on the rise compared to the same period in previous years. While fatalities have decreased, the number of accidents involving motorcyclists has increased, accounting for a larger share of fatal accidents.",
