In the clip, a second biker, believed to be a Malaysian, is also seen crashing into the overturned car, before getting knocked off his motorcycle.
He lay injured on the road as several other motorists and passers-by rushed to his aid.
The second rider, a male car driver and his female passenger were conveyed conscious to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, a police spokesman told Stomp.
A one-year-old infant from the car was also conveyed conscious to KK Women's and Children's Hospital.
The lorry driver had no visible injuries.
The 32-year-old male car driver was subsequently arrested for causing death by a negligent act and police investigations are ongoing.
