[Sg] - Jail for ex-SBS Transit bus driver over accident that caused woman to have leg amputated

[UltimaOnline]

Tan made a discretionary right turn after waiting for a van to pass, and the bus struck the woman.

She was rushed to Changi General Hospital with injuries, including fractures to both legs and degloving of her left leg.

A body part is said to be degloved when layers of skin and tissue are ripped from the underlying muscle or bone.

The woman then had to have her left leg amputated.

An SBS Transit spokesperson told The Straits Times : “Mr Tan is no longer in our employ. We have dismissed him!”

Does jailing the driver provide any help to the victim get back her leg? This system of justice is very weird.

Agree. Only the victim should decide the punishment, which should not exceed her injury.

You might as well have sent her to an animal hospital, where she might have better chances.

The Sg hospital is pretty useless i guess or just this hospital?
