SINGAPORE – A 29-year-old male motorist was arrested on Nov 9 after an accident involving two 83-year-old female pedestrians, one of whom later died in hospital.

In response to queries from The Straits Times, the police said they were alerted to an accident involving a car and two pedestrians – both 83-year-old women – in Teck Whye Lane, Choa Chu Kang, at about 2.50pm.

A 29-year-old man was arrested for driving without due care and attention under the influence of intoxicating substances, causing death, the police added.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said two people were taken to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.

One woman was conscious when she was taken there, while the other woman was unconscious on the way to the hospital, where she later died.

E-vaporisers were found in the man’s car, the police said, adding that the issue has been referred to the Health Sciences Authority.

A 13-minute video clip put up on citizen journalism portal Stomp captured the aftermath of the accident. In the video, a grey car appeared to have partially mounted the kerb next to Block 25 Teck Whye Lane. It also appeared to have hit a tree.

Passers-by are seen attending to the injured women before the arrival of SCDF paramedics, who then perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on one of the victims.

Nowadays even walking alongside a road, not on the road or traffic light, we have to watch out. I try not to walk whenever possible.
Over last 3 years, I already saw 2 cars rammed over the kerb and onto the pedestrian pathway.

I doesn't want to be a pap sacrifice lamb.

This is so tragic and sad, and it makes me angry. Lived a long 83 years (means born during the Jap occupation in 1942), only to be cut down by a person young enough to be her grandson, who happened to be high on vape, a 21st century invention banned in the land she was killed in.
