An auxiliary police officer was injured after getting hit by a dislodged water barrier at the motorcycle arrival zone of the Woodlands Checkpoint on Monday (July 31) at around 1.25am.
Stomper Daniel who witnessed the accident from his vehicle said that a motorcyclist was involved in the accident as well.
Daniel had spotted a group of officers surrounding an auxiliary police officer who was lying on the road, and alerted Stomp to the incident.
According to Daniel, a motorcyclist was seen squatting at the right side of the lane, while his helmet was placed on the left side.
In response to Stomp’s media query, an ICA spokesman said:
"A traffic accident occurred at the Woodlands checkpoint at about 1.25am on 31 July 2017.
"At the road leading up to the motorcycle arrival zone of the checkpoint, a 26-year-old male Singaporean motorcyclist had collided into one of the water barriers.
"The water barrier hit a 24-year-old auxiliary police officer who was deployed at the location to manage traffic.
"The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) ambulance was activated and conveyed the victim to a hospital for treatment.
"Police investigations are ongoing.
"The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority would like to take the opportunity to remind motorists to drive/ride safely when using the land checkpoints."
The spokesman also added that the officer was discharged on the same day.
