A woman, 37, a driver of one of the cars, was arrested for drink driving.
A tragic three-car drink driving accident occurred in the Chinatown and Telok Ayer area of Singapore on October 17th, resulting in the death of a 25-year-old woman. The victim, named Tan Mei Zhen, was seated outside a bar on Amoy Street when the incident happened. She was accompanied by a 35-year-old man at the time.
Both Tan and the man were conscious when they arrived at Singapore General Hospital. However, Tan tragically passed away six days later, on October 23rd. Photos posted on social media showed the aftermath of the accident, with a grey car lodged into the side of Far East Square and a blue car apparently perpendicular to the road.
A 37-year-old woman, who was driving one of the cars involved, was arrested for drink driving. She is facing charges for careless driving causing death while under the influence of alcohol. The 39-year-old man who drove the other car sustained minor injuries and declined further hospitalization.
Tan was a restaurant manager at Birds of A Feather, where she worked for four years. She had been engaged for nearly five years and was set to marry her fiancé in 2027. The couple was in the process of securing a public housing flat. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
