Bleeding, naked motorcyclist runs 1.5km to Jalan Besar after crashing motorcycle into taxi
A 44-year-old motorcyclist was spotted running in the buff after getting into an accident with a taxi on Oct 29.
The police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told Stomp they were alerted to the accident along Bendemeer Road at around 11am.
The motorcyclist was conscious when taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and is assisting with investigations.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the motorcyclist travelled 1.5km on foot to Jalan Besar after the collision - a journey that took about 20 minutes.
He had rear-ended the taxi and landed on its roof, but climbed down on his own and crossed the street before the cabby could react.
It was unclear why he was in a state of undress, but he was seen running through traffic.
Stomper Sally was having lunch at Ponggol Nasi Lemak at 371 Jalan Besar around noon when she spotted the naked man running past.
She recounted: "I was inside the restaurant and didn't manage to take photo, but he was bleeding, if I'm not wrong. I saw an ambulance and police car in a paint shop around 300m away from the restaurant."
Police investigations are ongoing.
The cabby told Shin Min: "I've been driving for 40 years and driving a taxi for over 20 years. It's the first time I've encountered something so bizarre!"
