Zara Mei Orlic died in hospital on Jan 23 from severe head injuries hours after the accident in Institution Hill in River Valley.SINGAPORE — An Indonesian maid was charged on Nov 6 with causing grievous hurt by performing a rash act in an accident in River Valley that killed a four-year-old girl.According to court documents, she allegedly failed to ensure the safety of Zara Mei Orlic that day by bringing her to cross a road at an unsignalised junction without holding on to the child.
On July 12, in Coroner Eddy Tham's findings into Zara's death, he said the Australian girl was on her way home from pre-school with Lilyana. He added: "The maid saw oncoming traffic on the second lane, but it was too late. By then, the car had collided into Zara and tragically ran over her body."He also found that the car driver, a 40-year-old Australian woman, who was arrested after the incident, could not have detected Zara's presence as she ran across the road.
The maid called the girl's father who rushed to the scene. A receptionist working in a nearby school called for an ambulance.
