S'pore-plate car racing in JB flips over, slams into motorcyclist

S'pore-plate car racing in JB flips over, slams into motorcyclist Racing recklessly in the wee hours of the morning was how three drivers allegedly got their kicks.

But on Sunday morning, their greed for speed killed one innocent motorcyclist in Johor Baru.

One of the three Singapore-registered cars hit a road divider and the driver lost control of the vehicle.

His car, a red Toyota Vios, flipped over and crashed into the back of a motorcyclist, killing him instantly.

NEAR CHECKPOINT

China Press reported that the incident took place around 2.15am, just 3km from the immigration checkpoint.

The dead man, Mr Li Ming Hui, 29, a Malaysian software engineer, was on his way home from work in Singapore when the incident happened.

At that time, Mr Li had been waiting for the lights to turn green before making a right turn.

It was then that the car suddenly slammed into him from behind.

The collision crushed the motorcyclist.

The car driver and his two female passengers, all in their 20s, survived the accident.

The driver had a broken arm, while one of the women sustained broken bones in her hand.

Nevertheless, they managed to climb out of their vehicle after the collision.

Relatives said that Mr Li usually only rode his motorcycle when he had to work extra hours over the weekend.

During the week, a company vehicle picked him up from home.

Mr Li's older sister, who spoke to China Press, said her brother had been working in Singapore for six years.

She painted a picture of a thrifty man who had moved from Singapore to Johor Baru two years ago in order to save money.

The distraught family said they hoped police would investigate Mr Li's death thoroughly.

Said Mr Li's sister: 'My brother did nothing wrong. He was just waiting for the light to turn green.'

A friend of Mr Li told China Press: 'Singaporeans have always raced in Malaysia, but this time a life has been lost.'

A police spokesman confirmed the incident. He added that the three occupants of the car had received medical attention.

No charges have been pressed yet, but police are calling for witnesses to contact them.

Wonder if these few youngsters will learn from this.... foolish n irresponsible act of theirs. :pray:

I think many of us know the answer to this one. These speeding incidents happen every other day, it's just that some are fortunate while others aren't. Whilst waiting for my car to get done yesterday morning, an idiot driving a black Suzuki Swift was testing out his exhaust system within the industrial estate, treating PUBLIC roads like his own personal racetrack, not to mention his irritatingly high pitched exhaust note.
