The family of the deceased raised several questions through their lawyer on the alleged behaviour of the driver, who purportedly left the scene with Mr Seow's phone with her and was detained over five hours later.
After passing the junction of Choa Chu Kang Loop and Choa Chu Kang Drive towards Teck Whye Avenue, her vehicle collided with Mr Seow, who is believed to have crossed the road from her right. He asked if anyone had called for an ambulance. When told that no one had, he called for one and instructed the trio not to touch Mr Seow.
After this, she stopped her car and alighted to check on Mr Seow, following which the off-duty police officer came to help.After waiting for about 15 minutes, Ms Chua decided to leave. She said she drove to her home in Choa Chu Kang and parked at the multi-storey carpark before going to town to run some errands.
He would usually leave for work at 6am and take a public bus. On the day of the incident, it was a Sunday, and he left home to head to SAFRA Choa Chu Kang for gym sessions. He showed a Google Timeline from Mr Seow's phone, which showed that the device was at the bus interchange that morning before he was shown walking at around the time of the collision.Mr Shergill asked the officer if Ms Chua had remained at the scene or did she take Mr Seow's belongings, including his phone, to the bus interchange for about half an hour.He also said that the paramedics' arrival time at the scene was"not stated".
However, the investigating officer noted that the off-duty cop had been asked on the phone if Ms Chua had smelt of alcohol. He explained that the vehicle was no longer there by the time the police arrived, and there was no evidence of blood on the road as it was raining heavily.The said video was played in court a few times. Mr Shergill then asked if it showed another person crossing the road in the opposite direction of Mr Seow at the time.
Mr Shergill also asked if it had been established why Ms Chua drove to Block 271, Choa Chu Kang Avenue 2, after the accident when her car was eventually found at Block 287A.He said Ms Chua was not aware that she had to stay at the scene. The two men with her were"surprised and shocked" and were also not aware of the requirement to remain there.
