Footage has emerged showing a motorcycle slipping and crashing while riding downslope into the basement car park at Funan.
What footage showed
The footage showed the motorcyclist riding down into the basement car park only to slip and fall at the bend turning right.
The motorcycle appeared to have applied the brakes as there was a stationary white vehicle ahead of him.
The vehicle had apparently hit the wall earlier while going downslope and did not proceed forward.

The ground appeared to have been wet.
Accounts by motorists
According to an earlier report, at least 10 vehicles had crashed into the wall between 6pm and 7pm on May 14, which saw heavy rainfall throughout the island from about 5pm.
One driver who crashed told Shin Min Daily News: "It was more than an hour after the incident happened that the mall management sent someone. They asked us to report to the insurance company to claim compensation, but the car owners want an explanation, and some of them called the police.”
The driver said he was in the third or fourth car involved, and other vehicles behind him suffered the same fate.

In response to media queries, a Funan spokesperson said the affected areas and the car park entrance at North Bridge Road were immediately cordoned off as a safety precaution when alerted about what had happened.
The spokesperson also said the mall is investigating the cause of the incident and providing necessary assistance to the affected drivers.
The car park entrance at North Bridge Road will remain temporarily closed, while the other car park entrance at Hill Street remains accessible.
