Collision Details
The BMW collided with the right-turning vehicle, causing it to spin out of control.
The impact sent the luxury car careening onto the pavement before it crashed into the side of a restaurant.
One of the BMW’s tyres was dislodged during the collision and struck a diner who was seated at an outdoor table.
The black BMW eventually came to rest on a grass patch between the pavement and the restaurant after knocking down a lamp post.
Injuries and Response
A 55-year-old man was conveyed conscious to Sengkang General Hospital by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).
The 52-year-old driver of one of the cars sustained minor injuries but refused to be taken to the hospital. He is currently assisting police with their investigations.
Footage of the incident circulating online shows diners sitting at the eatery when the black car crashes into a nearby lamp post.
The accident left a trail of destruction in its wake, with bicycles parked at the restaurant sent flying and a lamp post toppled by the impact.

Driver Statements
Mr Lim, the 50-year-old BMW owner, claimed that the car in front did not signal and was driving slowly, prompting his decision to overtake.
He mentioned that as he accelerated to overtake, the vehicle in front suddenly turned right into Jalan Tari Lilin, causing the vehicles to collide.
The driver of the other car, who wished to remain anonymous, provided a different account.
He stated that the BMW had already overtaken a taxi earlier, and when he was about to make his turn, “the BMW suddenly appeared from behind,” resulting in his car’s right side being hit.
This driver confirmed he was not injured and said that after parking his car at his nearby house, he returned to the accident scene and stated that everything would be handed over to the police for investigation.
