The video shows a motorcycle driving through a T-junction at a traffic light. A white Perodua Alza can be seen speeding from the right and crashing into the motorcycle driver, sending him flying and landing near the other side of the road.
The driver appeared to be knocked unconscious as he lay motionless on the road. Two women sitting in the car (off-camera) can be heard shouting in terror as they witnessed the accident.

According to a statement by Facebook user Sinji, who recorded and witnessed the accident first-hand, said she saw the Alza racing to beat the yellow light before it turned red.
However, the video shows the motorcyclist waiting in the yellow box and beginning to drive as the traffic lights changed.
