SINGAPORE - JTC Corporation has cordoned off an area near Seletar Aerospace Heights after a Grab delivery rider collided with an unmarked kerb and broke two bones in his right arm.

Mr Iskandar told The Straits Times that the kerb was the same colour as the pavement, making it difficult to spot even though the front light on his e-scooter was turned on. Mr Iskandar somehow managed to contact his cousin, Mr Indra Khai Rezan, who rushed down to the scene and took Mr Iskandar to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.Though he worked for Grab on an ad-hoc basis, the accident has left him worried about the future as the job was his sole source of income. He lives with and is responsible for supporting his parents, who are in their 60s and unemployed.

Riders have the responsibility to look out for any type of obstruction be it concrete or otherwise. So who can be at fault?

Sorry to hear that, but is it a requirement, kerb to be painted black/white? I doubt it. I look at the street, road kerb just concrete colour. Maybe it is HDB, not under LTA?

LTA

They are riding so fast... even don't care about the pedestrians.. :(
