SINGAPORE – A 60-year-old taxi driver was taken to hospital after he was involved in an accident with another cab at Jewel Changi Airport on June 12.
The police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they were alerted to the accident at 78 Airport Boulevard, which is the address of Jewel Changi Airport, at about midnight.
The taxi driver, a 60-year-old man, was taken conscious to Changi General Hospital.

Footage of the aftermath circulating online on June 12 shows two ComfortDelGro taxis stopped at the side of a basement ramp. One of the taxis appears badly dented.
