SINGAPORE: A former chief of the air force is accused of driving improperly such that he collided with a woman pushing a toddler in a stroller.
As a result, the woman suffered grievous injuries while the two-year-old boy was hurt.
Goh Yong Siang, a 74-year-old Singaporean, faces two charges for driving without reasonable consideration for other road users, resulting in grievous hurt to the woman and hurt to the two-year-old boy who was seated in the stroller.
The incident allegedly occurred at about 8.50am on May 17, 2024 at a pedestrian crossing along Pasir Panjang Road towards Telok Blangah Road, at the junction with Harbour Drive.
Goh is accused of failing to keep a proper lookout when he was making a right turn from Harbour Drive towards Pasir Panjang Road.
As a result, he collided with a woman named only as Samsiah in court documents. A “green man” signal was on in her favour. The vehicle also collided with the toddler in the stroller.
