On 10 Mar, yet another careless blunder cost the life of an innocent road user.
A white Mercedes rammed into a motorcycle along Boon Lay Way at Jurong East Street 11 junction.
According to Lianhe Zaobao, the driver ended up severely injuring a 41-year-old food deliveryman.
Unfortunately, the motorcyclist did not survive the accident, as he succumbed to his injuries at Ng Teng Fong Hospital.
We learnt that the fatal accident occurred on Tuesday (10 Mar) at 7.55pm.
From a video posted by SG Road Vigilante, we can observe the white Mercedes going at quick speed as he makes a right turn.
From the footage, it would seem that the driver failed to check for oncoming traffic, directly ramming into a motorcycle approaching from the opposite direction.
Upon colliding with the car, the motorcyclist and his vehicle were hoisted up in the air, landing at least 30m forward.
The driver subsequently crashed into a traffic light structure, leaving it utterly destroyed.

He can potentially be charged for dangerous driving causing death.
