It was an alarming taxi ride for Winnie Lee and her son on Monday (July 6) when their taxi driver seemed to have lost consciousness halfway through the journey.
In a TikTok video posted on Monday, Lee recounted how they had to jump out of the taxi as it was driving along the East Coast Parkway (ECP) expressway as the driver was heading dangerously close towards the guardrails on the road shoulder.
The 36-year-old mother recounted to AsiaOne that the incident occurred at around 12.40pm after she had taken the taxi with her six-year-old son from Terminal 1 at Changi Airport.
The taxi driver appeared to be fine at the start of their journey as she spoke to him about how she was not able to book a cab using the CDG Zig app.
“At first he was yawning, so I thought he was sleepy. That’s why I kept talking to him,” Lee said.
They were on the expressway heading towards Crawford Lane to meet her husband for lunch when she noticed the bushes alongside the guardrails brushing against the car’s window.
She decided to check in on the driver and he responded that he was fine.Ā
She then observed that the vehicle was on the road shoulder, explaining why it was brushing against the bushes.
Lee noted that the driver did move his car “back on [the] lane” after she pointed it out the first time but “it only lasted less than a minute” before the car inched towards the bushes again.
