SINGAPORE - A relief security guard lost control of his car while changing lanes and mounted the kerb, hitting an Indian land surveyor and leaving him severely disabled.
Johanis Mohamad, 27, was jailed on Thursday for two weeks for injuring Mr Chinnathambi Karuppiah, 34. He was also disqualified from driving for three years.
The accused had been driving home along Keppel Road on July 4 after noon in 2013. Near Cantonment Link, he changed lanes so abruptly that his car mounted the kerb.
The car struck Mr Chinnathambi, who was working on a pedestrian footpath in front of Tanjong Pagar Railway Station. The impact flung him 24m away.
