Motorcyclist, 28, taken to hospital after MPV rear-ends 2 motorcycles at BKE

A 28-year-old male motorcyclist was taken to the hospital after a car rear-ended two motorcycles on Jan. 28.

In response to Mothership's queries, police said that they were alerted to the incident at 11:10am along Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) involving a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) which had hit the motorcycles at once.

What happened

A rear dashcam video shared on Facebook on Jan. 31 showed three motorcycles initially riding in front of the MPV.

The car failed to slow down, and collided with the two motorcycles closest to it from behind.

It hit the motorcycles simultaneously with both of its front bumpers, causing one rider to be flung forward.

He skidded and fell off his motorcycle, with the bike hitting the back of the car.

In spite of the impact, the motorcyclist was seen standing up and taking off his helmet in the first lane following the collision.

The video did not capture what had happened to the other rider who was also struck by the MPV.

Motorcyclist taken to hospital, driver under investigation

Responding to Mothership's queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it was alerted to the scene along BKE towards Woodlands before Woodlands Centre Road exit.

The 28-year-old motorcyclist was sent to Woodlands Health Campus in a conscious state.

Police said that a 38-year-old male car driver is currently assisting with ongoing investigations.
