Car approaches Woodlands junction as traffic light turns green

The clip, which had a time stamp fn 4.59pm on 24 May, started when the car was approaching the cross junction in the centre lane, behind the camcar.

According to a recording taken from the front of the camcar, the traffic light had just turned green in their favour.

The camcar thus proceeds to move across the intersection.

However, the cyclist, who was travelling across the junction from the other road, slammed forcefully into the side of the car.

The impact caused him to be flung backwards and land on the road.

A part of his bicycle also seemingly became detached and was thrown into the air.
