Footage of the accident later emerged on the SGRV Admin Facebook page, where it has since garnered nearly 100,000 views.

In the video, the car can be seen making a right turn at the junction of Upper Serangoon Rd and Hougang Ave 7.

The traffic lights appear to be in the driver’s favour.

However, a motorcyclist, alleged to be driving a Malaysia-registered vehicle, suddenly approaches at high speed from the opposite direction, appearing oblivious to the turning car and the traffic lights.

The rider then collides with the car and is sent somersaulting into the air, before landing on the ground.

After the accident, the motorcyclist can be seen writhing in pain on the ground.

Meanwhile, multiple passers-by can be seen checking in on the motorcyclist and calling for medical assistance.

Meanwhile, a group of onlookers gather around the area in curiosity.

SCDF conveyed the motorcyclist in a conscious state to Changi General Hospital.

The Police also added that the 32-year-old male motorcyclist is assisting in investigations, which are ongoing.
