64-year-old eyewitness Zhu Rencai (transliterated from Mandarin), who owns a western restaurant nearby, said the taxi was coming from the other end of the road.
The yellow car, on the other hand, was exiting the carpark, he added.
Both vehicles then apparently collided at the intersection.
In the aftermath of the crash, it was observed that the yellow car had flipped over and sustained significant damage.
Its front doors were wide open and front windows smashed in. The windshield was also heavily cracked, while the car body had multiple dents.
As for the taxi, its bonnet was badly crumpled.

However, that wasn’t the most shocking part of the incident.
According to a witness, Ms Lin Lili (transliterated from Mandarin), a man and a woman crawled out from the wreckage of the yellow car.
They then fled the scene in front of the numerous onlookers present, the 38-year-old administrator told Shin Min Daily News.
She described the couple as looking to be in their 20s.
Though they had suffered some injuries, their wounds apparently weren’t serious, she added.
When queried, the police confirmed the accident had occurred.
They also said a 52-year-old male taxi driver and his 79-year-old female passenger were conveyed to the hospital in a conscious state.
