2 accidents in 15 mins at same junction 
Seven vehicles were involved in two separate collisions, which
happened about 15 minutes apart, at the same place in Yishun on
Sunday night.
The incidents occurred at the junction Yishun Ave 2 and Ave 5,
next to Yishun MRT station and Northpoint shopping centre.
Police received a call at 11.20pm about the first incident,
which involved a TransCab taxi, a motorcycle and a car.
The injured taxi driver, a man in his 60s, and motorcyclist were
sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH).
According to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), the taxi
driver had chest discomfort and giddiness, and the
motorcyclist, a man in his 30s, had multiple abrasions to his body
and neck and back pain.
Police received another call at 11.32pm about a second incident
at the same junction, this time involving three Comfort taxis and a
black BMW.
Eyewitnesses whom The New Paper spoke to said there was a crash
and the BMW flipped, turned over and landed. The impact shattered
its windows and deployed the vehicle's airbags.
"Passers-by who had been helping at the first accident quickly
ran over to help the driver and his passengers out of the car,"
said Aqil Faiz, 18, a student who was at the scene.
Aqil said all victims were conscious.
"There was no screaming or crying. The passengers were all
quiet. But the entire junction was filled with glass and debris,"
he said.
Two people were injured in the second accident, the BMW driver
and one of his passengers. Both are men in their 30s and 40s. One
had multiple cuts to his legs, while the other had a cut to his
left ear.
They were also taken to KTPH. Police are currently investigating
the collisions.
