Seven vehicles were involved in two separate collisions, which happened about 15 minutes apart, at the same place in Yishun on Sunday night.
The incidents occurred at the junction Yishun Ave 2 and Ave 5, next to Yishun MRT station and Northpoint shopping centre.
Police received a call at 11.20pm about the first incident, which involved a TransCab taxi, a motorcycle and a car.
The injured taxi driver, a man in his 60s, and motorcyclist were sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH).
According to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), the taxi driver had chest discomfort and giddiness, and the motorcyclist, a man in his 30s, had multiple abrasions to his body and neck and back pain.
Police received another call at 11.32pm about a second incident at the same junction, this time involving three Comfort taxis and a black BMW.
Eyewitnesses whom The New Paper spoke to said there was a crash and the BMW flipped, turned over and landed. The impact shattered its windows and deployed the vehicle's airbags.
"Passers-by who had been helping at the first accident quickly ran over to help the driver and his passengers out of the car," said Aqil Faiz, 18, a student who was at the scene.
Aqil said all victims were conscious.
"There was no screaming or crying. The passengers were all quiet. But the entire junction was filled with glass and debris," he said.
Two people were injured in the second accident, the BMW driver and one of his passengers. Both are men in their 30s and 40s. One had multiple cuts to his legs, while the other had a cut to his left ear.
They were also taken to KTPH. Police are currently investigating the collisions.
