PMD rider crosses on red light, gets hit by car

The video of the incident, shared on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page, shows the PMD rider crossing at the Yishun junction even though the traffic light indicated red.

The sound of a car horn and the skidding of tyres can be heard just as a black car slams against the PMD rider.

The impacts send her flying, and she lands on the ground rolling, her helmet flying out of her head and onto the road.

Moments later, the rider is seen sitting up, seemingly dazed as she looks around her. She hold her head as if to check if she’s okay. She then stands up, seemingly limping on one foot.

The driver of the car then steps out of the vehicle to talk to the rider, after which the clip ends.
