The police said the car driver had left the scene before they arrived. They arrested him afterwards and investigations are ongoing.
In a video of the aftermath of the accident circulating online, a man can be seen lying on a road shoulder. A motorcycle can also be seen a few metres away.
Several road users, including a man in a white shirt and grey pants, appear to be rushing to help the man.
The man in the white shirt then walks away to get into a blue car, which is parked against the flow of traffic.
He then turns into a slip road and drives away, with the car bumping into the barricades along the way.
The front bumper of the car appears to be damaged, with the left headlight missing.
