SINGAPORE – A drink driver whose car struck a cyclist at a traffic light junction in 2022 did not learn his lesson and drove again after consuming alcohol two years later.
The cyclist, who had the right of way at the time, suffered injuries including multiple abrasions and a rib fracture after he collided with Heng Zeng An’s car.
On April 7, 2026, Heng, 36, pleaded guilty to two counts of drink driving and one count of causing grievous hurt to the cyclist by driving without due care and attention.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Chan Wayde told the court that Heng had consumed alcohol from 7.30pm to 10.30pm on Oct 25, 2022.
Despite this, he later decided to drive from Waterloo Street back to his home in Admiralty Drive.
Court documents stated that Heng was “voluntarily intoxicated” while he was driving a car along Sembawang Road around midnight.
