A 45-year-old male taxi driver and his passenger were taken to hospital following an accident with a Traffic Police (TP) expressway patrol car on the PIE towards Tuas at about 5.40pm on Tuesday (Aug 4).

A photograph of the aftermath posted by Fadhil Rahman shows a ComfortDelGro Toyota Noah Hybrid 6-seater multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) with its front bumper lodged in the rear of the police vehicle. The MPV's air bags are also deployed.

Except for a partially dislodged rear air dam, the fully-electric Polestar 2 expressway patrol car appears to be largely intact.

In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police said the taxi driver and his 37-year-old male passenger were both taken conscious to the hospital.

Police investigations are ongoing.
