SINGAPORE: Two teenagers will be charged in court on Wednesday (Jun 24) over separate incidents involving the evasion of a police roadblock, including one case in which a rider allegedly crashed into officers and caused serious injuries.<\/p>\n
In that incident, a 16-year-old boy is accused of riding an unregistered vehicle at high speed as he approached the roadblock along Commonwealth Avenue West on the night of Mar 21, 2025.<\/p>\n
He collided with a traffic police officer and a Land Transport Authority (LTA) officer.<\/p>\n
The 44-year-old LTA officer suffered severe injuries, including a brain injury, a fracture to his knee, a muscle tear and a sprained ligament, the police said in a media release on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old traffic police officer suffered a head haematoma, abrasions and hip pain. A haematoma is a closed wound where blood collects because it cannot flow or drain out.<\/p>\n
Both officers and the teenager were taken conscious to hospital, the police said.<\/p>\n
The teenager will be charged with reckless driving causing grievous hurt, reckless driving causing hurt, evading a police roadblock, underage driving, using a motor vehicle without insurance coverage and using an unregistered vehicle.<\/p>\n
If convicted of dangerous driving causing grievous hurt, which carries the highest penalty among his charges, he could face between one and five years\u2019 jail if this is his first conviction.<\/p>\n
He could also be disqualified from driving all classes of vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
