In the hope of catching the culprit, her family is appealing for eyewitnesses and dashcam footage of the accident.
On Thursday (12 Jan), the woman’s sister shared about the hit-and-run accident on Facebook.
Speaking to MS News, the OP, Rachel Dominique Ng, said her sister was walking their two dogs, a Chow Chow and a Labrador, around 11.30pm.
The incident happened at the junction of New Loyang Link.

The light had turned green, and her sister started to make her way across the traffic junction towards the Shell petrol station. At the same time, a black BMW sedan was making a discretionary right turn into Loyang Avenue.
Although she was still crossing the road, the BMW continued to make the right turn, colliding straight into her and their Chow Chow.
The impact caused her to fall to the side. However, their Chow Chow suffered the brunt of the collision and was dragged under the car for some distance.
Amidst the chaos, their Labrador ran loose and managed to make his way home, said Rachel.
She added that despite her sister’s screams, the BMW did not stop and continued driving towards the Changi Village area.
Thankfully, a bystander stopped her car at the side of the road and protected her sister and their Chow Chow from the oncoming traffic.
Unfortunately, her dashcam did not have an SD card, and she did not capture footage of the incident.
Rachel told MS News that her sister’s screams were so loud, they could be heard from their house in Loyang Rise, about 300m away.
Subsequently, her sister was conveyed to the A&E at Changi General Hospital, while her other siblings brought their Chow Chow to the emergency vet clinic.
She sustained cuts and bruises on her arms and legs, as well as severe head and neck aches.

Besides that, their Chow Chow suffered a dislocated hip, multiple bone fractures in his right front leg and severe abrasions, which will require major surgery.

Following the accident, Rachel’s sister lodged a police report online, and they contacted Shell to check if they had footage. They are also waiting for police to formally request for the footage.
As the roads were busy at the time of the collision, her family is appealing for any eyewitnesses or dashcam footage.

MS News wishes her sister and their Chow Chow a smooth and speedy recovery.
