Mazda Crashes Into Taxi At Nicoll Highway & Overturns, 2 Persons Conveyed To TTSH

Mazda Overturns After Collision With Taxi On Nicoll Highway

Accidents in Singapore are fairly common, especially ones that occur after dark. Affected visibility often increases the probability of collisions.

Such was the case on the Nicoll Highway last month, when a Mazda sped along the expressway and crashed into a taxi.

The Mazda then flipped over, coming to a standstill in an overturned state.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told MS News that they conveyed two individuals to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
