LOCAL jazz singer Marina Xavier's right leg was crushed by a taxi in a freak accident which occurred last Saturday as she was alighting from the cab, The New Paper reported on Tuesday.
The 51-year-old veteran singer had taken a Comfort taxi to St James Power Station's Bellini Room where she performs every Saturday at 10 pm.
About 10 minutes before Ms Xavier was due to go on stage, the singer found herself lying on the road, with her right leg crushed by one of the taxi's tyres.
She told TNP that after running over her leg, the taxi reversed and ran over the same part of her leg again.
She was rushed to Singapore General Hospital and checks showed two badly fractured bones in her lower right leg.
