Multiple clips of the crash, which took place along TPE towards Changi Airport before the Elias Road exit, show a white car, purportedly a Volkswagen Golf, speeding along the middle lane of the TPE.
The car then abruptly moves to the leftmost lane. Seemingly unaware of the vehicle in front of him, the speeding Volkswagen hits the rear of a black van.
