A man who enjoyed going cycling many times every week for a couple of years now met with an unfortunate incident when he was knocked over by a wild boar at Punggol last Tuesday .
He wrote that his father is a “seasoned PCN cyclist, cycling 200km – 300km every week for the past 2 years,” adding that the weather was good on the day of the incident, and therefore the older man chose to go on a solo ride. “The huge impact caused him to land face down on the tarmac with a cracked helmet,” Mr Chew wrote, adding that he cannot stress enough how important it is to wear a helmet even when cycling on a PCN. The helmet “probably” saved his dad’s life, Mr Chew said.
The older man suffered injuries on his entire face and was covered in abrasions. He also had cuts to his eyebrow which required stitches.
