Cyclist in ICU after hit-and-run

Stomp | Stomp.com.sg | Wednesday, Apr 10, 2013

SINGAPORE - A driver had hit a female cyclist along Mandai Road towards Yishun Avenue 1 on Tuesday night, before allegedly driving off.

Ms Lim, whose sister was an eye witness, wrote in to citizen journalism website Stomp to share her account of the incident. She said that her sister had witnessed a driver in blue camouflage uniform hitting a female cyclist and driving off without stopping.

When her sister caught up with the driver in a black Honda Accord to confront him, he denied that he had hit anyone, despite the fact that his windscreen had been smashed on the left side.

Another driver at the scene of the collision said that the man had already been driving unsteadily along the BKE before the Mandai Road exit, prompting him to flash his headlights at him at the time.

Police confirmed that there was an accident at 9.55pm, and said that the victim had been sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

Ms Lim said that the cyclist is now in ICU due to a spinal injury and a blood clot in the brain.

The daughter of the cyclist had called to ask for information and shared this with Ms Lim.

Police investigations are on-going.

Ms Lim told Stomp:

"This incident happened last night (Apr 9), along Mandai Road.

"A black Honda Accord hit a female cyclist and drove off without stopping.

"My sister was driving behind the car and saw the whole incident. She went after the guy in her own car.

"When he pulled over, he claimed that he did not hit anyone even though the left side of his windscreen was smashed.

"My sister told him to go back to the accident scene, but he simply drove off again.

"The poor female cyclist's daughter called for information just now. She is now in ICU due to a spinal injury and a blood clot in the brain.

"God bless the cyclist who got hit. May the driver be caught and severely punished."

Quick reaction saves him

February 27, 2013 - 12:34am

By: Michelle Fong

PHOTO: Lianhe Wanbao

Truck driver Baharin A. B. Karim was waiting behind his steering wheel at a red light when he saw another truck heading straight for him.

He reacted instinctively. He quickly undid his seatbelt, pulled up the handbrake and jumped to the back of the lorry cabin.

He said: "As the truck was coming towards the right, I grabbed on to the left seat of my lorry and braced myself for the impact."

Seconds later, the other truck slammed into the right side of Mr Baharin¡¯s truck.

He survived with minor injuries thanks to his quick thinking.

Fiery crash at that junction

January 18, 2013 - 12:58am

By: Audrey Tan

ACCIDENT: Four people were injured in the crash between a taxi and a van at the junction of Victoria Street and Rochor Road. PICTURE: SHIN MIN DAILY NEWS

A van and taxi collided at the Victoria Street and Rochor Road junction in the wee hours of the morning yesterday, at the same spot where the high-profile Ferrari crash occurred last May.

The crash, at about 12.20am yesterday, caused a fire in the van¡¯s front compartment that was later put out by the Singapore Civil Defence Force.

A police spokesman said four conscious people were sent to hospital. The male taxi driver, in his 50s, was sent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Three others were sent to the Singapore General Hospital for discomfort and minor injuries.

In May last year, a taxi was hit by a speeding Ferrari that beat a red light at the same junction, killing the driver of the sports car, Ma Chi, the taxi driver, cabby Cheng Teck Hock, 52, and his passenger, Ms Shigemi Ito, 41.

Read the full report in the The New Paper on Friday (Jan 18).
