In the clip, the motorcyclist is seen overtaking the camcar and filtering into lane 1 (far-right) of the expressway.

Specifically it appeared to be travelling between lanes 1 and 2.

As it approaches a car in lane 1, it stops, causing the motorcycle to collide with its left rear portion.

The impact caused the motorcycle to be flung into the air.

It lands on its side across lane 2 of the PIE.

Other motorcyclists come over to render assistance

After the crash, the motorcyclist lies on the road, his legs moving but seemingly unable to get up.

Soon, another motorcyclist stops to render assistance to him.

Two more people subsequently rush over to help as the car involved remains stationary in lane 1. It appears to have sustained some damage on its rear.

Footage recorded behind the same camcar showed that the accident caused a queue of cars to form in lanes 1 and 2.
