SG: Woman on motorised bicycle killed by cement truck

67 year old Mr Sin San Wah was struck by a car driven by Mr Yew Foo along the slip road from Lower Delta Road to Jalan Bukit Merah. The lower court has already fined Yew Foo $10,000 for the fatal crash and $2,500 for drink driving, with a 2 year driving ban. He was resentenced when Deputy Public Prosecutor, Mark Tay, thought that the district judge's sentence was too light, since Yew Foo's actions were beyond negligence; despite being drunk, he chose to drive, risking and disregarding the safety of other road users. Justice Chan Seng Onn, allowed the prosecution's appeal to sentence Wong Yew Foo to a four month jail term on Wong Yew Foo, and increasing his driving ban from 2 to 6 years. 

Four vehicles, consisting of an SBS bus, an SUV and two taxis, were involved in a pileup outside Somerset MRT station yesterday. The owner of the SUV, 42-year old Mr Lim, said that the collision started with a taxi that braked violent in an attempt to avoid a trailer which was parallel parking at the construction site close to 313@Somerset. The crash did not hurt Mr Lim, but it did hurt his ride, when it was slammed by an SBS Transit bus from the rear. The bus did not drive away without damage too; the crash damaged the front of the bus and smashed its windscreen.
