Motorcyclist & Pillion Fall After Getting Sideswiped By Car On PIE, Both Conveyed To Hospital

Collision With Car Knocks Down Motorcyclist & Pillion On PIE

A video recently uploaded by Facebook group ROADS.sg showed a car knocking into a motorcycle on the Pan Island Expressway (PIE).

The incident saw a blue car change lanes as a motorcycle approached it. They were unable to avoid colliding.

As a result, the motorcyclist and passenger fell off their bike and onto the road in a rough tumble.

According to the timestamp in the footage, the incident occurred today (5 Jan) at 8.01am.

The caption to the Facebook post claimed that it happened on the PIE near the Pioneer Road North exit.

A blue car on the rightmost lane activated the left turn signal and almost immediately attempted to change lanes.

Meanwhile, a motorcycle carrying a motorcyclist and a pillion rider approached it from the rightmost lane and appeared to be lane-switching too.
