Navigating a busy road requires utmost caution. A single moment of recklessness could lead to severe collisions, sometimes with more than one vehicle, as traffic is busy.
The same occurred for a cyclist who found himself involved in a collision with two cars.
The incident occurred at the junction of Hougang Ave 3 and Tampines Road in the Kovan area.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) soon arrived on the scene and took the cyclist to the hospital. He was reportedly conscious at the time.
A video of the incident was posted to Facebook group monitoring traffic accidents, Traffics accident.SG, on 15 May.

SCDF told MS News that they were alerted to the incident at about 12.40pm. They later conveyed one person to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
As of yet, the exact cause of the collision is still unclear. However, accidents on busy roads are relatively frequent between cyclists and their fellow motorists.
It is thus vital to travel with care on roads such as junctions that are populated with traffic. Not doing so can result in similar accidents like the one seen with this cyclist.
Accidents involving the elder members of our community seem even more severe, with the level of potential harm caused to injured parties.
We thus wish this cyclist a speedy recovery, and commend the surrounding motorists and pedestrians for assisting him with his injuries.
Moving forward, we urge all motorists to drive carefully in areas busy with traffic. Otherwise, the consequences may be severe.
