The rear end of the Citroen then crashes into a biker as the front rams into a taxi. 

Local media reported that the Citroen driver was trying to beat a red light at the busy crossroads.

The motorcyclist is seen trying to brake to avoid the car but it swings around and knocks the rider flying from his machine.

Two female car passengers, aged 80 and 49, as well as the 69-year-old motorcyclist were taken by ambulance to the city’s Tan Tock Seng Hospital for treatment to their injuries.

All three were reportedly conscious. Local media said the motorcyclist had suffered injuries to his face, as well as his hands and elbows.

The two women injured in the crash complained of back and shoulder pain, and dizziness.

Local media reports the 56-year-old driver of the Citroen is currently helping police with their inquiries into the incident. The investigation is ongoing.

The accident happened in the Gaylang area of Singapore which is best known as the city’s historic red light district.
