An elderly woman and her two grandchildren were conveyed to the hospital after the bicycle they were on got hit by a taxi driver at Toh Guan Road today (Jun 1), reported STOMPer Gerald.
According to the STOMPer, the cabby was attempting an illegal U-turn along the road when the accident occurred.
This accident is the latest in a series of recent motoring accidents around Singapore. A motorcyclist lost his life after an accident with a lorry along the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) yesterday morning (May 31) while three motorcyclists were injured in a four-vehicle accident along the same highway later that day.

"I came across an accident site at around 8pm Toh Guan Road today (Jun 1).
"I'm not too sure what happened exactly but I heard an elderly Malay woman and her two grandchildren were knocked down by a taxi driver, who was doing an illegal U-Turn there.
"The woman and her grandchildren were on a bicycle when the accident happened and she got flung about 100 metres while the two children were thrown to the kerb of the road.
"Within a few minutes of this happening, the Civil Defence arrived and sent the elderly woman to the hospital almost immediately.
"The children, who were both semi-conscious then, were sent to the hospital in another ambulance which arrived later on.
"There was blood splattered on the floor though it is not a lot."
