SINGAPORE – Even though the traffic lights at a T-junction in Upper Bukit Timah Road had already turned red for five seconds, a man cycled through the junction and rammed into a 70-year-old pedestrian crossing the road.
The pedestrian, who had the green man in his favour,
was flung
onto
the road and died in hospital on the same day.
The cyclist, Lester Lu Su Min, 49, was sentenced to two months’ jail on Oct 31 after pleading guilty to causing death by performing a rash act not amounting to culpable homicide.
