A ROBBER who had crashed a stolen taxi into a wall at the junction of Telok Blangah Road and Henderson Road died from his injuries at the scene early on Tuesday morning.
The police were informed of a the accident and theft at 5.10am early this morning by the stolen cab's driver Mr Ivan Loy Keng Yen.

The Premier taxi driver had stopped his vehicle along the road next to Block 10 Telok Blangah Crescent and had stepped out to buy a copy of morning Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao.

At that point, the culprit got into the driver seat of the stationary taxi and pointed a silver object at the Mr Loy before driving off.

This turned out later to be a plastic toy gun.

Mr Loy frantically hailed for a cab, wanting to give chase.

By the time he got into one, he had lost sight of his stolen cab.

By the time Mr Loy spotted his silver cab, it had crashed into a 4-m tall white concrete wall along Telok Blangah Road and Henderson Road.

The culprit was seen collapsed in the driver's seat and was pronounced dead by paramedics at about 5.35am.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force, who said the robber was approximately 40 years old, took about half an hour to extricate his body from the wreckage.

The police recovered some orange plastic pellets and broken parts of the silver toy gun at the accident scene.

Police investigations are ongoing.

This new taxi made in which country? The taxi must be hitting as high as 100km/h and crashed into the wall. Engine gone. Almost half of the car 'eat' into the concrete wall. Anyway I was in bus 963 and passed by that accident scene at 640am this morning. So many police cars and officers. Non of them sleeping in the car Laughing
