A 30-year-old female motorcyclist was sent to the hospital on Friday (4 Sept) after being involved in an accident with a taxi and another motorcycle in Tampines.

Dashcam footage posted by SG Road Vigilante on Facebook showed the yellow ComfortDelGro cab colliding with the motorcycle as it was apparently turning right.

In the clip, which had a timestamp of 4.15pm on 4 Sept, the motorcycle could be seen travelling straight on Tampines Avenue 4, along the stretch outside Tampines Mall and Tampines MRT station.

However, a taxi that was turning right into Tampines Central 5 knocked into the motorcycle, sending the motorcyclist flying over its bonnet and onto the road.

The camcar, apparently another motorcyclist, then collided forcefully into the taxi.
