RIP

 

 

SINGAPORE - A 70-year-old man died after another taxi crashed into the one he was in outside the entrance of Gleneagles Hospital on Thursday (Oct 4).

The police said they were alerted to the incident, which took place along the Gleneagles Hospital service road, at 11.21am. Two cars and two taxis - one from Trans-Cab, and another from SMRT, were involved in the accident.

One of the taxi drivers, a 62-year-old man was stabilised by medical staff from Gleneagles Hospital before he was taken conscious to National University Hospital (NUH).

The Straits Times understands that this man was the driver of the SMRT taxi.

Typically, Singapore Civil Defence Force ambulances take patients only to restructured public hospitals, which includes NUH. The man's transfer to another hospital could have been at his request or based on the recommendation of medical staff.

Two passengers who were in the Trans-Cab taxi, a 70-year-old man and a 42-year-old man, received medical attention at Gleneagles Hospital.

 
 

Police updated later in the day that the 70-year-old man subsequently died. But the exact cause of his death was not known.

Gleneagles Hospital said that it was unable to provider further details on the case.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Ms Margaret Teo, vice-president for corporate communications at SMRT, said: "We are saddened to hear that one of the injured has passed away. We are assisting the police with their investigations.”

A Trans-Cab spokesman told ST that the left rear part of one of its taxis was damaged when an SMRT taxi crashed into it during the incident.

M'sian car boleh!

As much as it is the m’sia car’s fault, it is also the responsibility of people crossing to make sure cars stopped before crossing. Want to cycle across, then even more reason to check first before crossing.

Driver was at least responsible enough to come down and help. Cyclist was also very gracious not to make a big fuss about it.

The sooner a law is enacted that cyclists and scooter riders must walk across crossings the better for all.

the best is to look at the driver and where his/her eyes are looking. get the eye contact before proceeding. else they have not noticed your presence.

you have the point, but the car slowing down might have given him the impression that he could cross. All in all both are at fault but the cyclist should have been more careful and considerate than the car.

i am told in some European countries, if one is riding a bicycle , he will be treated like a vehicle, so when he rides he could not cross before a car unless he dismounts and walks like a pedestrian. This is a good idea.
