A taxi crashed into a Thai restaurant at Toa Payoh at around 5.20pm Wednesday (Nov 16).
According to Stomp contributor Ng, who was on her way to work when she witnessed the incident, said she was only “a few steps” away from the crash site.
The name of the restaurant is Thai Lily Restaurant and is located at Block 107, Lorong 1 Toa Payoh.
Ng said: “I was on my way to work, and the taxi crashed into the restaurant. If I had walked three steps ahead, I would have gotten hit by the taxi.
“What’s unusual is that the taxi driver was not in the driver’s seat, but in the passenger seat instead.
“Thankfully no one was eating in the restaurant at that time.”
“I feel really shocked because the sound of the crash was really loud.
According to Ng, oil from the taxi spilled all over the restaurant, and the taxi also damaged some walls of the place.
The Stomp team was at the scene and spoke to another Stomp contributor whose car was affected by the crash.
The woman was at a neighbouring store during the time of the accident, and when she heard the crash, she rushed to the scene and realised the right side of her car was slightly grazed by the taxi.
Stomp understands that the taxi driver has been brought to a hospital, but the cause of the accident is still unknown.
