In the clip, a large truck was seen cruising in the middle lane while a camcar travelled alongside it in the rightmost lane.
After crossing an intersection, the truck switched lanes to its left.

While doing so, it ended up hitting a silver Honda Fit and performing an unintentional PIT manoeuvre.
This sent the Honda spinning around the front of the truck and onto the rightmost lane, where it crashed head-on with the camcar.

The police told MS News that two female car drivers aged 41 and 53 were conveyed conscious to the hospital.
The 39-year-old male truck driver is assisting with ongoing police investigations.
Additionally, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) stated that they assessed another person for minor injuries, who declined conveyance to the hospital.
Netizens split on who to blame
The person who submitted the dashcam footage blamed the truck driver for failing to check their blind spot when changing lanes.
Some netizens also agreed that the truck was at fault for changing lanes.

Several commenters, however, instead accused the silver Honda Fit of trying to squeeze in front of the truck in its blind spot.
