Motorcyclist injured by hit-and-run driver that went against traffic along Mountbatten Road

A 28-year-old motorcyclist was taken to hospital after being hit by a car along Mountbatten Road on Wednesday night (June 27), at around 9.25pm.

Stomper Fiq, who contributed photos taken at the accident scene, said: "A car drove [against] traffic flow and hit the motorcyclist.

"Despite other cars honking at him and knowing he hit the rider, he drove off."

A video submitted by Fiq also shows a car driving against traffic. It is believed to be the vehicle that hit the motorcyclist.

Facebook user Puteri Nur Aishah, who identified herself as the victim's sister, wrote in a post on June 28 that the "culprit was travelling opposite the traffic flow when it's clearly a one-way road before that culprit hit my brother and ran away immediately".
