A 65-year-old woman, Madam Liang Lan Zhen, was dragged 20m under a taxi while her 8-year-old grandson was injured after they were struck by a taxi at 7.50pm on Friday (Jun 1) near Block 265 Toh Guan Road.

Mr Li Wei, the grandchild of Madam Liang Lan Zhen said his grandmother was still in the intensive care unit as of last weekend. Li Wei's youngest brother, Li Zheng, suffered minor abrasions and has a 'bump on the head'. When asked by The New Paper his thoughts on the accident Li Wei said:

"I was very shocked. When I rushed to the junction where the accident happened, they had already been taken to the hospital.

"She has some injuries to her chest area and needed a respirator to help her breathe.

"She also might need to have a leg amputated."

The victim, Madam Liang, often walks to IMM instead of the grocery shop nearby because the items are much cheaper at IMM.

"Accidents involving taxi drivers are so prevalent in Singapore.

"I believe most of us have stories to share on the bad driving skills some of our taxi drivers display.

"Can companies like Comfort Delgro and Trans Cab look into this matter seriously to reduce reckless driving by taxi drivers on the road?

"I hope the old granny and her grandson will recover from their injuries soon."

Li Wei, Li Zheng...From their names, the victims are likely to be PRC. Were they jaywalking like they are used to in China?
 
Jurong is infested with Tiongs now, so there's a good chance they're Tiongs.
 
if they are tiong, then good job taxi drivers, you rid society of thrash. I hope you get a good lawyer, and will have no effect on your taxi career.
 
Hit someone already still continue driving for 20 metres more?

So indifferent?
 
I told you guys all taxi drivers are scum. I wish there were more Ferraris around to wipe them from the face of this earth.
