A 49-year-old woman was sent to hospital after a taxi smashed into the Far Kor Sun Monkey God Temple at Farrer Park in the afternoon on Jan. 16.

Police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told Mothership that they were alerted to the accident on Jan. 16 at around 2:50pm.


A taxi was believed to have self-skidded along Marne Road, police said.



The aftermath​



Footage shared to the Singapore roads accident.com Facebook page showed that an SMRT taxi had mounted a kerb and crashed into the temple.

A few passersby had gathered.

The person who took the video wrote that he had been on his way to work when he saw what happened.

"I thought there was a movie shoot today... turned out that an accident occured," he added.


Temple closed until further notice​



The temple also shared a video of the aftermath to its Facebook page.

It showed that the taxi had smashed through the temple's gate.

A ceiling light had been dislodged and was hanging by a wire.

Police were seen at the scene.

The temple wrote in the post that due to unforeseen circumstances and to ensure the safety of all devotees, the temple would be closed until further notice.

"We appreciate your concerns and understanding, and we aim to resume normal operations as soon as possible," the temple wrote.


Police said that a 49-year-old female pedestrian was conveyed conscious to the hospital.

She was brought to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, SCDF

is this place near the back lane of City Square Mall? I thought that area is Jalan Besar. Why the journalist call it Farrer Park?
 
I remember there is a Chinese temple right next to the exit of BBDC, and many learner drivers always 'accidentally' almost entered the temple. :biggrin:
