A grey Nissan Sylphy attempted to recklessly overtake an oil tanker, which resulted in a chain collision accident along the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE).

In the video, the oil tanker could be seen travelling on the second middle lane while the grey car (concealed by the tanker) was on the outermost left lane.

Within seconds, the bonnet of the grey car could be seen as the driver attempts to shift into the second middle lane, despite being so close to the heavy-duty vehicle.

As expected, the grey Sylphy ends up in a T-bone collision with the oil tanker, which then led to the car spinning and colliding with a yellow taxi in the middle lane.

The impact of the crash threw the taxi off its lane and into the road divider, which led to a fourth hit as the camcar could not stop in time.

The video ends with the grey Nissan hitting the yellow taxi a second time as it flies towards the road divider from the impact of the first hit with the oil tanker.

This huge accident led to a closure of three lanes of the expressway and a 3-hour jam during the lunch peak period.

Netizens' reactions

From the comments, it's clear that what the grey Nissan did was insanely reckless and impulsive.

TBH, I have no idea what the driver was thinking. In what scenario would overtaking an oil tanker be a good idea? Why would anyone even do that?

Another incident with the same driver

A more recent video showed the same grey Nissan Sylphy blocking the road at a petrol station. 

Despite the blurry footage, the grey car was identified to have the same license plate.

According to the camcar driver, he was attempting to leave the petrol station when he saw the vehicle parked in the middle of the road. 

After repeatedly honking, the driver noticed that the owner of the grey Nissan was actually at the ATM on the right.

This inconsiderate behaviour is really infuriating to watch. First, he causes a chain collision on an expressway and now, he's parking his vehicle in the middle of the road for his own convenience?
