They were going to his grandmother's home at Telok Blangah when the accident took place at the junction of Pandan Crescent along West Coast Highway. 

Mr Loke was riding right in front, with Mr Ong in the middle and Mr Ang at the back.


He told TNP they were cycling within the double yellow lines on the extreme left side on the road when the trailer hit them from behind.


His friends were dragged on the road. He fell off his bicycle.

Mr Loke said he managed to pick himself up. Some car drivers who saw the accident then called for assistance.

"I'm very lucky to survive," he said. "But at the same time, I'm very sad to lose my friends."

Mr Ong's sister told the media that her brother was to be enlisted on Monday.
