A motorcyclist collided with a car that was changing lanes on the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) on Thursday (Oct 1).
In a video posted on YouTube by SG Road Vigilante on Friday, a white Toyota Harrier can be seen moving from the third lane into an empty second lane amid traffic congestion on the BKE.
As the white car began changing lanes, a motorcyclist travelling along the second lane crashed into the side of the car.
The video shows the motorcyclist being thrown onto the road by the impact, which also left a large dent in one of the car's doors.
In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police said that they were alerted to an accident involving a motorcycle and a car along the BKE towards Woodlands on Oct 1 at 10.30am.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was also alerted to the accident at the same time.
The 18-year-old motorcyclist was taken conscious to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, according to the police and SCDF.
The police added that the 58-year-old driver is assisting with investigations, which are ongoing.

视频显示，摩托车骑手被撞击抛到路上，撞击还在汽车的一扇车门上留下了一个大凹痕。
