A pregnant woman was one of two people taken to hospital after a four-vehicle accident in which a black Toyota flipped on its side.

The police and Singapore Civil Defence Force were alerted at about 7.40pm on Sunday to the incident involving three cars and a taxi at Punggol East Road towards Punggol Drive, near Riviera LRT station.

The Toyota driver, a 64-year-old man, was conscious when taken to Sengkang General Hospital.

The pregnant woman, 33, who was in a grey Mitsubishi driven by her husband, was also conscious when taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

Investigations are ongoing, the police said.

The cabby, who wanted to be known only as Mr Tiah, 60, told Lianhe Wanbao that he was driving on the right lane of the three-lane road when he and the Mitsubishi behind him stopped to let a bus switch lanes.

The Toyota then crashed into the Mitsubishi, which in turn hit his taxi. Mr Tiah said he saw the Toyota flip and hit a fourth car as it landed on its side.

Passers-by helped the driver out of the Toyota.
