Fatal Accident Claims Life of 48YO Woman; She was Hit by Trailer When Crossing Road at Teban Gardens

Wednesday (31 March) was not a good day for both motorists and pedestrians.

Three notable accidents happened on the roads, two of which were fatal.

The fatal crash at Tanjong Pagar which killed five in February was a warning to all motorists that reckless driving could easily cost you your life.

But still, drivers continue to drive dangerously, and pedestrians usually have to pay the price for it.

Fatal Teban Gardens Accident Claims Life of 48YO Woman; She was Hit by Trailer When Crossing Road

A 48-year-old woman passed away after she was involved in an accident with a trailer near Pandan Reservoir.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the accident took place along Penjuru Road on Wednesday afternoon (31 Mar).

It’s unclear what actually happened, but the trailer was heading towards Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim in Jurong at the time.

It got into an accident with a female pedestrian, and the police were alerted at around 4.12pm.

Sadly, the 48-year-old female was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

The 68-year-old driver of the trailer has been arrested by the police for causing death by dangerous driving.

Netizens urged the authorities to ramp up safety measures in the area, as it sees many such large vehicles, some of which travel fast.

They warned residents in the vicinity to be careful when crossing the road, especially in the industrial area.

Two Other Accidents Occurred on Same Day

Two other accidents occurred on the very same day, one of which involved a grey Mercedes and a motorcyclist.

The Mercedes beat a red light at the junction between Henderson Road and Jalan Bukit Merah, and a biker on a perpendicular lane ended up smashing into the car.

As a result of the impact, the biker was flung from his bike and fell violently onto the road. Fortunately, he managed to get up straightaway.

Instead of stopping to check if the biker was injured, the driver of the Mercedes simply sped away.

Later, in the night, a fatal hit-and-run accident took place along New Upper Changi Road in Bedok, claiming the life of a 71-year-old motorcyclist.

The accident involved a car and the victim’s motorcycle. The police said they were alerted to the accident at 8.05pm.

When the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) arrived, they found the 71-year-old man unconscious. His passenger, a 69-year-old woman, was still conscious.

Both were rushed to the hospital but, sadly, the man later succumbed to his injuries.

Goody Feed offers our condolences to all the families of the victims and hope they’ll be able to pull through this tough period.
