  "account": "A 30-year-old motorcyclist succumbed to injuries sustained in a collision with a lorry near West Coast Park on October 20. Photographs shared on social media depicted police officers setting up a perimeter around a section of a three-way junction, with a severely damaged motorcycle displaying a Malaysian license plate resting on its side. Cracked pavement seemed to be stained with blood. Onlookers could be seen from passing by, observing the scene while traffic police managed the flow of vehicles. Upon being informed of the incident, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) noted that they had been dispatched to a reported accident involving a motorcycle and lorry near the junction of West Coast Ferry Road and Harbour Drive around 7:30am. The motorcyclist was found unconscious and was transported to National University Hospital, where he later passed away. The 24-year-old driver of the lorry was apprehended for driving without due care and causing death. Police investigations are currently underway.",
  "summary": "The lorry driver, 24, was arrested for driving without reasonable consideration causing death.",
