Accident left him in coma with severe injuries
Mr Kartikesan told MS News the accident happened on 24 Dec 2025 at Kampong Lorong Buangkok.
He has no memory of what occurred, having suffered head trauma that left him in a coma after the incident.
The incident is believed to be a hit-and-run, as the driver had allegedly fled before an ambulance arrived at around 2.50pm.
According to Mr Kartikesan, the case was investigated by the Singapore Traffic Police (TP) as a suspected hit-and-run, but was later closed after investigations did not “produce any substantive results”, based on a TP letter.

“Traffic police told me that the area has no CCTV camera,” he said.
Expressing his frustration, he added: “The accident was so bad, but the traffic police just closed the case. It’s very, very disappointing.”
He also noted that the timing of the accident stated in the police letter was inaccurate.
