A 28-year-old man was arrested for a string of offences, including dangerous driving and driving under the influence of an intoxicating substance, said the police on April 26.
He was also arrested for driving a vehicle without insurance coverage and driving without valid road tax, they added.
Checks on OneMotoring showed that the Mercedes-Benz GLC300 hybrid car's road tax had expired in December 2024.
The police said they were alerted at 12.55pm on April 25 to an accident involving three cars and a motorcycle at the junction of Punggol Field and Edgedale Plains.
The motorcyclist, 34, was taken to the hospital while conscious.
In a video on social media, a white car is seen driving against the flow of traffic.
Subsequently, the same white car is seen with its front-end crumpled, while other cars and a SingPost three-wheeled motorcycle, which is flipped over, appear to be damaged.
Police investigations are ongoing.
