Others noted that the motorcyclist also beat the red light and should not have been speeding when crossing a junction. Many praised the nurses. "Kudos to the two nurses who immediately attend to the fallen riders. This is a reminder to every pedestrian that even though the light just turns red, don't presume that it is still safe to cross," said Facebook user Eddie Goh./TISG https://youtu.be/OqpqmU44L3Q Read related: Motorcyclist who didn’t heed red light sent flying after colliding with passing vehicle along Keppel Road http://theindependent.sg/motorcyclist-who-didnt-heed-red-light-sent-flying-after-colliding-with-passing-vehicle-along-keppel-road/
