A 27-year-old man was injured in an accident involving two personal mobility devices (PMD) in Pasir Ris on Saturday night (March 16).

Facebook user Jeremy Chiang posted a video of the collision, which occurred along Pasir Ris Drive 1 towards Pasir Ris Drive 8.

In the video, a man can be seen crossing the road on his PMD, which looks like a bicycle. The traffic light was blinking green in his favour.

However, an e-scooter rider that was travelling on the road suddenly crashed right into him.

A photo posted by Mr Chiang shows two men sitting on the road after the collision.

Mr Chiang told Stomp: "The PMD rider was in shock and fractured his leg."

Responding to a Stomp query, the police said they were alerted to the accident involving an e-scooter and a PMD at 8.21pm.

The PMD rider was conscious when taken to Sengkang General Hospital.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Under the Active Mobility Act, PMDs are not allowed on roads at any time.
