An auxiliary police officer from Certis Cisco was hit by a taxi and flung about 25 meters while trying to help victims of a traffic accident on Sunday.

 

According to a Cisco spokesperson, 41-year-old Nur Iskandar Magiar was on night shift with a supervisor when he witnessed a road accident unfold on the Bukit Timah Expressway. A trailer had skidded on the road and hit a car and a motorcycle, trapping two people underneath.

 

While his supervisor called up the command post, Nur Iskandar jumped into action to help the victims of the accident. He was trying to free two people who were caught under the trailer when a taxi hit him from behind.

 

The impact threw Nur Iskandar 25 meters away from the site of the accident.

 

He sustained spine injuries and was sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for treatment, where he is currently recuperating.

 

According to the police, the taxi driver who hit Nur Iskandar did not see the officer

I have to agree with u on this.

Hope the officer recovers soon. All my respects to him. I do blame the taxi, but also LL, I have to give the fella the benefit of the doubt he did not do it on purpose.

Of course he didn't do it on purpose. Why would he do that?

 

But did he drive too fast and reckless, as is the norm with taxi drivers, such that he's unable to respond in time? I'm going to guess yes.

I believe that taxi driver did not had adequate good sleep, regardless of his age

Will subsequent report mentioned the taxi driver's age? It only mentioned the victim's age.
