A Rough Night on Republic Boulevard
What Happened?
Around 7:30 PM on Saturday, a taxi with a busted front tyre went wild.
The driver lost control and jumped the central divider, crashing straight into a back‑to‑back motorcycle scene.
Two riders were in the blast: a 41‑year‑old biker and his 31‑year‑old passenger.

Hospital Details
The trio was quickly rushed to Singapore General Hospital.
Two were taken seriously—the bolder corner of ‘serious cases’—and the ambulance squad had adrenaline ready for any turn.
The taxi driver got outpatient care, and the passenger’s bike‑ride dice dropped to zero.
Where’s the Picture Gallery?
In the wild world of social media, some brave souls snapped shocking shots: the biker sprawled with a blood puddle, a rescued hand, and a dented taxi bumper.
A Malaysia‑registered two‑wheel miss‑happened on the asphalt—plain.
“We’re sorry you’re stuck in this circus,” a ComfortDelGro rep said—“we’ll help the biker and his pillion rider if we’re welcome.” (Cue relief vibes.)

Quick Takeaway
A bumpy taxi → fatal collision → endless hospital drama.
A care team backed up by corporate sympathy.
A final note: slip up, or slip forward? Better keep that front tyre in check, folks.
