SINGAPORE - A traffic police officer died in a traffic accident on Thursday (June 1) morning, police said.
Staff Sergeant Nadzrie Matin, 29, was involved in an accident along Serangoon Road at about 10.40am while he was performing traffic patrol duties.

Staff Sergeant Nadzrie joined the Singapore Police Force in 2009 and was posted to the Traffic Police after he completed his training.

Staff Sergeant Nadzrie Matin died in a road accident this morning while he was on traffic patrol duty. We salute SSG Nadzrie Matin and grieve with his family.
He was 29. He joined Singapore Police Force in 2009 and served in traffic police.
I am sad by Nadzrie's tragic passing. I visited his family this evening to convey my deepest condolences.
No words can adequately console. But I hope it will lighten the family's burden knowing that Nadzrie was an outstanding, dedicated police officer, well-liked and respected by his commanders and peers.
He has served SPF well. We are proud of him and will miss him.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.
Semoga roh Allahyarham Nadzrie Matin dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan di kalangan orang-orang yang beriman dan ahli syurga.
Al-Fateha.
The police appealed to members of the public not to circulate videos or images of the dead man out of respect for his family.
Earlier on Thursday, videos and photos showed a traffic police motorcycle lying on a grass patch, and a uniformed man lying nearby.
Paramedics appeared to be performing chest compression rescue on him.
The 52-year-old driver of the vehicle involved in the accident, said to be a van, has been arrested for a negligent act causing death.
Investigations are currently ongoing, police said.
