A delivery driver<\/a> who had been working for 13 hours was so exhausted that she crashed her van into a lorry before swerving into a tree, leaving five people injured.<\/p>\n Nur Huda Hussien, 38, was driving home to a warehouse with undelivered parcels when the accident happened along West Coast Road<\/a> on Jan 16, 2025.<\/p>\n She was trying to return the parcels before 10pm to avoid being penalised for failing to complete her deliveries.<\/p>\n According to Shin Min Daily News<\/a>, Nur Huda was working as a delivery driver at the time and typically worked from 7am to 8pm.<\/p>\n On the day of the accident, three of her friends joined her in the van between 1pm and 2pm to accompany her on her delivery route.<\/p>\n By the evening, she had completed a batch of deliveries at Yunnan Crescent in Jurong West<\/a> and was extremely tired.<\/p>\n However, she decided to continue driving to the warehouse near Pandan Avenue with the undelivered parcels, hoping to get there before the 10pm deadline and avoid a penalty.<\/p>\n At about 9.42pm, while switching lanes along West Coast Road towards West Coast Highway, she accelerated and rear-ended a lorry.<\/p>\n She then suddenly swerved to the left and crashed into a tree.<\/p>\n The accident left three of her friends in the van seriously injured.<\/p>\n A passenger in the lorry also suffered serious injuries, while another passenger sustained minor injuries.<\/p>\n The van, which belonged to a vehicle rental company, was damaged beyond repair.<\/p>\n The company subsequently made an insurance claim based on the van\u2019s remaining value of $80,000. However, the payout was $30,000 below its original market value, leaving the company with a loss.<\/p>\n Nur Huda faced two charges of driving without due care and attention<\/a>.<\/p>\n She pleaded guilty to one charge on Oct 30 and was sentenced to 10 days\u2019 jail and disqualified from driving all classes of vehicles for five years.<\/p>\n Have something to say?
