They conveyed the rider to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

On Wednesday (3 April), a video of a collision involving a Johor-registered motorcycle and a Mercedes was posted on the SG Road Vigilante – SGRV Facebook page.

As they do so, they seemingly do not notice the motorcycle heading towards them at high speed.

Unable to swerve in time, the rider crashes into the vehicle, the impact throwing them off their bike and onto the left road shoulder.

In any case, this should serve as a reminder to all motorists — whether in cars or on bikes — to be careful on the road.
