'No hatred' towards driver, says uncle of Tampines crash victim even as family struggles to heal
The driver who caused the 2024 Tampines collision that killed his 17-year-old niece has been sentenced, but the family’s grief remains profound, her uncle says.
The uncle of a 17-year-old victim of a fatal 2024 Tampines crash expressed his lack of hatred towards the driver, who was sentenced to 12 years and nine months in jail and a lifetime driving ban. The uncle said he felt no anger or animosity towards the driver when he first saw him in court, and hopes the public does not focus on the driver or direct hostility towards him.
The uncle emphasized the traumatic impact the incident has had on the family, who have struggled with grief and mental health issues for over two years. He urged motorists to use the case as a cautionary reminder about the dangers of speeding.
