Minibus driver fined after dragging motorcyclist for several metres in crash
The victim had lacerations on his leg that were deep enough to expose bone.
A minibus driver in Singapore has been fined S$5,000 (US$3,900) and banned from driving for five years after dragging a motorcyclist for several meters in a crash. Muhammad Zulhadzly Sulaiman, 32, pleaded guilty to driving without reasonable consideration that caused grievous hurt to the victim. The incident occurred on Woodlands Avenue 6 on March 9, where the victim was stopped at a red traffic light signal.
Zulhadzly's minibus failed to slow down and collided with the rear of the motorcycle, causing the victim to be thrown off and dragged along the road. The court heard that Zulhadzly's actions were negligent, and he was sentenced to five days in jail in default of the fine.
