A man was taken to hospital after the motorcycle he was riding crashed into the rear of a moving car along the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) on Friday (Dec 19). 

The accident happened at about 6.05pm on the PIE towards Changi, before the Bukit Timah Expressway exit. 

In a video posted on Facebook page SG Road Vigilante, a motorcycle is seen travelling along the rightmost lane of the expressway when he crashes into the rear of a moving car. 

From the video, the motorcycle appears to be travelling at a speed higher than the vehicles ahead. 

The impact flings the motorcyclist onto the second lane, in front of an oncoming car which manages to stop in time. 

His motorcycle then skids across three lanes and lands on the first lane. 

In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force said a 24-year-old male motorcyclist was taken conscious to the hospital. 

Police investigations are ongoing.
