Horrendous accident sees motorbike pillion flung into the air after collision with stationary car

UPDATE: The casualties have been identified as Malaysian Certis Cisco officers; both remain warded in ICU with multiple severe injuries

If you’re really not into horrendous-looking accidents, best you look away now, son. This dashcam clip that’s going viral on social media should give other motorcyclists severe chills.

Here’s how it happened: A motorist was driving towards Woodlands Checkpoint along Seletar Expressway (SLE) on Monday morning (Jul 24) when he slowed down to a stop due to a car that seemed to have broken down in the middle of the first lane. No vehicle breakdown warning sign was placed at the site, but its hazard lights were flashing.

Just mere seconds after the motorist attempted to switch lanes, a motorbike slipped in from the motorist’s right side and crashed straight into the stationary car. The rider smacked right into the car’s open trunk, while the pillion was sent hurtling into the air.

The motorist’s rear dashcam caught footage of the motorbike, which didn’t seem to slow down upon approach.

According to the police, both the 24-year-old motorcyclist and the 21-year-old pillion rider were taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) added that both casualties had leg injuries. Current conditions of the two men are still being ascertained.
