Dear VAG members,



A close friend of mine was involved in a fatal accident last Friday, 25th Jan 2013 at the junction of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 and Yio Chu Kang Road at around 5.35pm.



She was riding a motorcycle (she usually wears a riding jacket, gloves and full face helmet when she rides, and has over 10 years of riding experience) going straight from AMK Ave 6 towards Lentor Avenue and was very close to home. Lights were in her favour.



A Mercedes Benz (believed to be Maroon) SCM8855T was making a right turn in the opposite direction, not only did the driver not wait in the turning pocket lines, he paused but still dashed through the junction.

My friend could not brake in time and collided with the rear door of the car.

Her helmet box dislodged from her bike and flung towards a vehicle at the opposite junction and broke its windscreen.

She died on the spot. She was 36 years old, and was waiting to receive her degree cert during her graduation ceremony in March.



Her mother and brother were devastated when they went to identify her body at the hospital.



We have since only received 1 in-car video but the view of the entire accident was blocked by vehicles in the front.



The family and myself are appealing for more witnesses to come forward with information as the driver who caused the accident has not been co-operative in investigations.

Although it has been a week from the accident, we are hoping that if more people help to spread the news, the higher the chances of getting witnesses.



Her family now has to grieve because of the inconsiderate actions of others. Your simple gesture of sharing any information you might have, will go a long way and be most appreciated by her family and me.

If you know of anyone who has information, please contact me at [email protected]

Please help spread the word. Thank you.

[Lawman]

accordingly to my colleague, the driver already admitted his error of judgement that caused this accident, and TP will charge him

The driver might get a $1200 fine and 3 months driving suspension. That's all.

 

Motorcycles are inherently dangerous on the road. All motorcycle operators and passengers must acknowledge that fact. Decide what is more important, life or convenience/fun on bike.
