FULL-TIME National Serviceman Chia Wee Kiat, 24, has died from head injuries which he suffered on Sunday, during an accident at the OCBC Cycle Singapore.
Mr Chia, who was a first-timer at the annual ride, hurt himself at Benjamin Sheares Bridge soon after the start of the 59km Super Challenge.
He was brought by ambulance to the Singapore General Hospital where he underwent a 13-hour surgery, and remained in the intensive care unit since.
Investigations are still ongoing as to how Mr Chia fell. Witnesses gave contrasting accounts of the accident. One said that he fell on his own at high speed, while another said he was involved in a crash with others.
RIP.
