SINGAPORE – The driver of a prime mover was arrested after a 72-year-old man died, following an accident in Boon Lay on Feb 14.

The police said they were alerted to an accident involving a prime mover and a pedestrian at Block 190 Boon Lay Drive at about 7.20am.

The man was taken to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital in an unconscious state, where he subsequently died, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force said.

A 48-year old male prime mover driver was arrested for driving without reasonable consideration causing death.

Correction note: In an earlier version of the story, police said that a tipper truck had been involved in the accident. They have clarified that it should be a prime mover.

Som prime mover drivers in SG are racing like F1 drivers without regard to the safety of pedestrians and other vehicles.

Even when in a car, we avoid these big trucks. What more a pedestrian. Unless the 72-yr-old unker was not paying attention to his surroundings?
