The taxi driver too was pretty much unharmed but i can tell he was really shocked from the incident. After the collision, he asked me what to do. My mind was still recovering from the initial impact so i only remembered telling him to call the police and make a report - on the hindsight, it's a little funny that the taxi driver uncle should ask me what to do. i would have thought he knew better.
Having said that, i checked myself for any visible injuries. Only seeing none and able to move my limbs around without feeling any pain, i got down from the cab. By this time, Uncle had called the police, turned off his engine and winded down the windows. It was only now that i realised how bad the other vehicle was banged up from the collision..
Below is a picture from STOMP the banged up the car was.
I'm grateful that there were passers-by to help us, offering advice and helping the injured parties onto the pavement, away from the accident site. It shows how people can come together in times of trouble and not all incidents reported in Singapore are ugly. There are always those unsung goodness that don't make it often enough to the news or reports.
The ambulance and police made it to the scene one after the other in around 10 mins. Overheard from the medic that one of the victims might have suffered a fractured collar bone. He was bandaged up and sent to hospital for further treatment.
Officer took down my particulars and i was informed that the IO will be contacting me in future as i'm a involved party for this accident. After taking some further verbal instructions from both the police and medic, i was good to leave the scene.
Believe it or not, i walked home. I decided that the fresh air will do some good and let me walk my mind off the incident. In all, i'm just grateful that i got away pretty much unscathed and no lives were lost. I hope the other victims are now recovering well.
