I have to admit; this has to be either one of the most bizarre or reckless driving I have seen in a long time.

Watch it here:

What Happened?

This unfortunate accident occurred along Brickland Road and involved a Strides MG 5 electric taxi, a Toyota Wish and a van.

It all started when the Strides MG 5 electric taxi emerged from a slip road towards Brickland Road and accelerated at full speed. 

Despite traffic forming at a traffic light up ahead, it did not occur to the Strides taxi driver to slow down.

Instead, the taxi driver decided to swerve to the adjacent lane to avoid rear-ending a lorry but still rear-ended another car, a Toyota Wish. 

During the collision, a van also sustained damages to its rear.

It is not known how many were injured in this accident. 

However, here's wishing all those injured a speedy recovery!

At a closer glance

Initially, it seems like the Strides taxi driver was driving purely recklessly, which resulted in this accident. 

However, after taking a closer glance, I made a rather bizarre observation - The driver's side door abruptly swung open when the MG 5 was emerging out of the slip road (Video timestamp 0:24).

Could this accident be caused by a medical-related complication experienced by the taxi driver? Or was it caused by the incompetency of the taxi driver?

The aftermath of the accident looks really bad...

TBH, I highly doubt anyone would intentionally drive like that.

LMAO! And yes, the watermark got to go.
