Customers throw chairs to make car crashing into Geylang coffee shop stop Chai Hung Yin | The New Paper | Monday, Sep 22, 2014 SINGAPORE - A car ploughed into a row of tables and chairs at a popular Geylang coffee shop last night, sending patrons scampering for safety. The car crashed into the diners, who were sitting on the sidewalk outside the Geylang Lor 9 Fresh Frog Porridge coffee shop, at about 11pm. The coffee shop was packed when the accident happened, witnesses said. A stall assistant at the coffee shop, Mr Erick Kwok, 26, told TNP: I just had dinner and heard screams. I ran out and tried to stop the driver. But he sped away, down the road. Some customers threw chairs at the car. He only came to a stop when he hit another car. The New Paper understands that about 30 customers at the coffee shop ran after the car and surrounded it following the accident. Bloodstains were still visible on some tablecloth when TNP visited the scene last night. Police said they received a call for assistance at 11.17pm. They added that four people - three diners at the coffee shop and the driver - were taken conscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Police investigations are ongoing. This is the third report of a vehicle crashing into a Geylang eatery in about a month. On Sept 10, a blue Suzuki Swift crashed into a crowded coffee shop in Geylang Lorong 7, injuring a diner and sending diners at SN City Seafood restaurant scrambling for safety. On Aug 21, a crash involving three vehicles resulted in a lorry mounting a kerb. It ended up in the walkway in front of the 99 Duck Neck restaurant between Geylang Lorong 11 and Lorong 13.
