SINGAPORE - After drinking four glasses of red wine at dinner, a driver rammed into another driver whose car had broken down along Ophir Road, killing him.
He travelled along Jalan Besar Road and made a left turn into Ophir Road, where a slip road leads to the East Coast Parkway. The victim, Mr Syed Kaleemullah Syed Erufanulla, 56, was outside his car, which had its tail lights on. He was walking from the rear towards the driver’s side of the car when Ang crashed into him.
Footage of the accident from Ang’s in-car camera that was played in court showed that he did not slow down before he rammed at high speed into the victim and his car. Ang is considered a serious repeat offender, and his case is believed to be the first case of its kind since traffic laws were enhanced in 2019.The judge thus requested further submissions from the prosecution and defence to guide the court, and adjourned the case. The case is expected to be heard again in August.
