  "account": "On August 18, a 37-year-old motorcyclist and his 26-year-old pillion rider fled from police in Farrer Road and crashed into a car. The rider was arrested for dangerous driving and driving without a valid license. He was found to be in possession of a vaporizer and pod. The pillion rider was in possession of what appeared to be controlled drugs. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the motorcycle wedged under the car and two men on the ground. Police found blood and debris on the road. At least two traffic police motorcycles were present at the scene. A police officer on patrol had signaled for the motorcyclist to stop at about 5 PM, but he chose to speed off, leading to a pursuit. The motorcycle skidded during the chase and collided with a car. Both the motorcyclist and his pillion rider were conscious when taken to National University Hospital. The motorcyclist faces charges of dangerous driving and driving without a valid license, while the pillion rider is suspected of drug-related offenses. The vaporizer-related offense will be referred to the Health Sciences Authority, and the suspected drug-related offense will be handled by the Central Narcotics Bureau.",
