SINGAPORE - A lorry driver failed to give way to a cyclist who was then crossing a road at a zebra crossing, causing an accident. The cyclist later died in hospital on April 16, 2022.
On Monday, Udaiyappan, 25, was sentenced to a year’s jail after he admitted to one count each of causing a death by driving without reasonable consideration for other road users and intending to pervert the course of justice. Udaiyappan was driving towards a zebra crossing at a speed of about 40kmh when he saw Mr Abdul Aziz cycling across it.
He also told the court that at the time of the accident, the traffic volume was moderate, the road surface was dry, the weather was fine, and visibility was good. The DPP said: “The co-accused agreed to the request... as the co-accused had been assigned to be the driver of the lorry on April 16, 2022 and was purportedly afraid that would find out that he was not the driver.”
