Mitsubishi gets T-boned by car on MCE, 1 person injured
An individual has been injured after a Mitsubishi on the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) ended up T-boned by another car.
The incident occurred on 11 Nov at about 4.21pm, near Central Boulevard exit.
Dashcam footage showed a red Mitsubishi driving into a tunnel, making a lane change to the right at the same time as the camcar filtered into the same lane.
The two vehicles then appeared to touch for a few seconds before the Mitsubishi spun sideways, making its way onto the rightmost lane of the MCE.
It nearly collided with a car passing by.

Almost instantly, a silver car T-boned the Mitsubishi with a loud crash, pushing it a few metres forward.

The collision severely dented the right side of the Mitsubishi and flung the trunk wide open.
Dashcam footage from the silver car showed that the Mitsubishi appeared to have come out of nowhere.
The video also contained audio of the driver hitting the brakes a second before the collision, lessening the impact.
