Man, 36, drove into 3 people, including boy, in S'pore within 6 months, given 10 days’ jail & S$4,000 fine
He was given a three-year disqualification from holding any class of driving licence.
On September 24, a 36-year-old man named Ngoh Junwen received a 10-day jail sentence, a S$4,000 fine, and had his driving license suspended for three years after colliding with three individuals over the course of six months. The man faced two charges under the Road Traffic Act.
On September 1, Ngoh attempted a three-point turn onto a lane in Sembawang when he collided with a 43-year-old motorcyclist. The motorcyclist fell to the left and required hospitalization for a fractured left leg and an abrasion on his left ankle. He was in the hospital for nine days and received 94 days of medical leave.
Six months later, on February 28, Ngoh tried to turn right at a junction from North Bridge Road onto Coleman Street. He failed to wait for all the pedestrians to cross the street, leading to a collision with a 33-year-old father and his four-year-old son. The boy was thrown about a meter from the impact, suffering head injuries and injuries to his right side.
His father sustained pain in his right knee and hip. Both were taken to the hospital. The boy was given three days of medical leave, and his father took three days off work.
