Video footage of the accident was uploaded on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page and shared in the Singapore Roads Accident Facebook group. The footage shows the cyclist riding across one side of the junction.
The cyclist appears to be going against a red traffic light as he crosses the road. Near the middle of the junction, a car comes into the frame from his left and collides with the cyclist.
The impact sends the cyclist flying off his bicycle. The traffic light for the car changes from yellow to red just before the point of collision.
After the accident, the car stopped and a man was seen making a phone call while kneeling beside the cyclist.
