SINGAPORE - Three people were taken to hospital after an accident flipped over a car outside Clementi Mall on Saturday morning (Jan 26).

The three people, aged between 49 and 70, were conscious when taken to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed that it was alerted to the accident at about 10.30am, and the injured were taken to hospital by ambulance.
