An Indian national had more than twice the legal limit for drink driving when his lorry rammed into three pedestrians, one of whom died as a result.
Muthukrishnan Gunasekaran, 39, was jailed for 20 months and banned from driving for six years.
He pleaded guilty on Wednesday to causing the death of Indian national Natarajan Sugumar, 25, by doing a rash act; causing grievous hurt to two other pedestrians and his front-seat passenger; and driving when he had 76mcg alcohol per 100ml of breath along Toh Guan Road East on Feb 15, 2010.
A district court heard that he had whisky the night before with a friend at a coffeeshop.
