SINGAPORE: He had turned his head to check his blind spot after overtaking a bus. But by the time Leonard Wong turned his head back and spotted the van tyre in front of him in the middle of the road, there was nothing he could do.

Wong's Ducati motorcycle hit the tyre and he was flung off the bike. He died on the road shortly after. The information technology engineer, who would be 26 today, was travelling in a convoy with five other riders to Fraser's Hill, about 105km north of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, when the accident happened on Saturday morning near Seremban on the North-South Expressway.
