Chinatown crash topples road signs, two taken to hospital with head injuries
A 55-year-old driver and his 38-year-old female passenger were taken to hospital after an accident involving two cars along Kreta Ayer Road towards New Bridge Road on May 28.
Stomper Randy alerted Stomp to a Facebook video of the incident.
In the clip, a car appears to have crashed into the wall outside the Sri Layan Sithi Vinayagar Temple in Chinatown.
A road sign for Kreta Ayer Road and a stop sign are lying on the ground. Debris is also scattered across the traffic junction.
A man with bandages wrapped around his head is seen sitting on a chair as another man holds an umbrella over him.
In response to a Stomp query, the police said they were alerted to the accident at 1.15pm.
"A 55-year-old male car driver and his 38-year-old female passenger were conveyed conscious to the hospital," a police spokesperson said.
According to 8world, the two cars involved were a silver Toyota and orange Nissan, both driven by private-hire drivers.
The two people sent to hospital were seen bleeding from their heads.
The female passenger in the Toyota was on her way to pick up her child from school when the accident happened.
The airbags of both cars were deployed, and the fronts of both vehicles were badly damaged.
Police investigations are ongoing.
