The accident at the junction of Tampines Avenue 2 and Tampines Avenue 9 happened at 4pm.
The police said a 54-year-old taxi driver and four of his passengers, aged between two and 35, as well as three passengers from another car, aged between 51 and 79, were conscious when officers arrived at the scene.
