P4 girl paralyzed on one side of body after electric bike knocked her down

A nine-year-old girl has suffered temporary paralysis to one side of her body after she was knocked down by an electric biike in February.

According to a Shin Min Daily report, Faith Naval — currently a Primary Four student — was crossing the road near her school with her 12-year-old sister, Kimberly when the bike hit her.

Kimberly was quoted as saying: “I believed my sister may have been tripped the wheel of the bike, and that the bike dragged her for at least 35 to 40 metres”.

After the accident, the rider of the bike was said to have carried Faith across a distance spanning a few housing blocks before laying her down on a table at a void deck.

“My sister shouting out to him to put her down but he didn’t listen. He told the police later that he saw dark clouds in the sky and was afraid my sister will get drenched in the rain.”

The rider’s actions were believed to have caused blood to rush to Faith’s brain, thus causing the swelling.

Her left brain still show signs of sweeling, and has led to the right side of her body to be immobile temporarily.

Kimberly also told the newspaper that in the one month that has passed since the accident, the rider has neither visited Faith nor offered an apology.

You see alot of these fucktards riding in geylang.
Usually old beng uncles....love to knock them down

 

[vnhhinjb]

Just run over these arseholes when you see them and that would discourage these fuckers from being on the streets.

Let's hope that electric bike rider gets crushed by a cement truck soon.

Can see that most forummers here are good-heart Samaritan

Wait a minute... those looks, the name 'Faith Naval'... she's a Pinoy, right?

Maybe that electric bike rider is an anti-Pinoy crusader.

Now I think I'm neutral on this incident.

 

[laksaboy]

So... TNP, is it an electric bicycle, or a motorcycle?

The machines are illegal but neither LTA nor TP has done anything to enforce their own laws. They are the next big tragedy.

 

[chupacabra]

Peesai is too small and overcrowded for any type of bike. This kinda thing will become more common on the future.

 

[GOD IS MY DOG]

how the heck could an electric bike drag a girl for 40 meters ???!!!

Those electric bikes are legal all over the world. Idiots are all over the world as well.
An idiot behind the wheel of a car do far more damage than electric bike.
LTA/TP will get into action on behalf of smear of shit LKY desire to get more $$$$$ into his Stinkapore sovereign fund.
COE for electric bikes. That will make them LEEgal . Make you all here happy?
Loads more $$$$ for shit smear LKY to play play with.

By the way, fines for bicycles and electric bikes ten times more than cars driven dangerously.
You all happy?
And yet no way a knock down by bicycle or electric bike can spill brains on the road like what we seen recently.
But people riding bicycles and electric bicycles are poorer than car drivers so they must be hantam and fucked even more.
Until you guys happily join LKY in screwing the poorer people.

Absolutely disgusting Stinkapore with its Stinkaporeans.
Stinkaporeans made for shit smear LKY and LKY made for Stinkaporeans

There could have been a mistranslation of the Sin Ming article. One Chinese translation of motorcycle is 电单车 which literally means 'electric bicycle'. So, she could have been hit by a motorcycle rather than an electric powered bicycle.

Sounds more like a road accident. Some clothes got tangled with a motorcyle. There's no details on the circumstances e.g. if the girls were jaywalking, if motorcylist was beating a red light,.....

The TNP reported that a motor bike was involved. So how come bicyclist are getting hammered

 

[Agoraphobic]

These electic two-wheelers should fall under the category of motorized-vehicle and be operated as a motorcycle then. Either that, or be disallowed to operate on public streets. WTF. I've seen Ah Peks ferrying their grandchildren like it were a bicycle and riding against the flow of traffic. WTF.

Cheers!

there is a approval scheme for motorised bicycles . not sure tho if the authorities crack down on previously non approved ones

[wendychan]

there is nothing in the report as to whether a police report was made, whether TP were called to scene, whether the bike rider is under investigation....

 

[HTOLAS]

The LTA website has a description of what is allowed. If that is the law, they should enforce it. Do note that the site emphasizes that these are bicycles first and 'motorized' second.

I absolutely do not have a problem with bicycles (legally motorized or human powered) and actually believe the LTA must provide for them in the way of cycle paths along main roads, etc. Such paths are widely available in the Netherlands and Taiwan. Why not here?

And it is also the cyclists' welfare I have in mind when I call for the enforcement of traffic rules, not just other road users. Not too long ago, a neighbour was killed while coming into traffic without giving due notice. Many other times, I've seen near accidents when cyclists (sometimes with pillion) rush onto roads from pedestrian pavements without looking and way too fast for oncoming traffic to react to.

So if poor cyclists are to be helped, the infrastructure for them to operate in must be provided for and the laws enforced.

i choose to believe that s'pore is over-populated.

Electric bicycles per se are NOT illegal. Only those that have a capacity to go above 25kmh are illegal. See:
http://www.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Story/A1Story20100218-199528.html

My own view is that all such contraptions -- whatever their maximum speed -- should be made illegal. However, there is even less resolve by the authorities to do so these days because many foreigners use such vehicles.
