Five people were taken to hospital after a taxi and a car collided at a junction near Gardens by the Bay on Monday (June 1) afternoon.

When AsiaOne arrived at the scene at 2.35pm, both the taxi and car were stopped near the middle of  the junction.

The curtain airbags of both vehicles were deployed.

Based on the damage to the taxi's front right bumper and the car's rear passenger door, it is likely that the two vehicles were involved in a T-bone collision. 

The airbags of both vehicles were deployed during the accident.

At least two security personnel from Gardens by the Bay came over to assist those involved in the accident, and to direct traffic away from the scene.

Four persons with a toddler, believed to be the taxi's passengers, were seen standing at the traffic island calming the child.
