SINGAPORE – An accident in which a car flipped upside down and crashed led to the arrest of its driver, who had lost control of the vehicle, and five other drivers.
Investigations had revealed that all six men were speeding at the same time, on the same day, at up to more than double the speed limit on the CTE towards the AYE.
They were hauled to court on March 11.
Lee Jun En Gilviz, 23, Marcus Lau Yong Wei, 35, Sherman Quah Kok Rong, 21, and Goh Jared-Kane, 25, were each handed one charge for dangerous driving.
The other two, Damien Chia Hwa Chuan, 29, and Kong Jia Quan, 23, were charged with dangerous driving causing hurt.
The accident involving the overturned car occurred along Stamford Road towards Fort Canning Link at about 1.30am on Oct 27, 2024, the police said.
Lee allegedly failed to have a proper control of his vehicle, causing it to overturn and crash into a traffic light post, a traffic sign, as well as trees and bushes.
His car was estimated to have been travelling at up to 144kmh before it overturned along the road where the speed limit is 50kmh.
Before the accident, he had allegedly been travelling along the CTE towards the AYE at up to 187kmh, more than double the road’s speed limit of 90kmh.
Lee’s accident forced Lau to slow down, causing Chia’s vehicle to hit Lau’s.
At the site of the crash, Lau’s car was estimated to have been travelling at up to 104kmh.
Around the same time, Kong had failed to keep a proper lookout and allegedly rear-ended Goh’s car. Kong was said to have been travelling at up to 129kmh.

All six men were subsequently identified and arrested. They were suspended from driving and their vehicles were seized as case exhibits.
