Survivor of Tampines crash seeks psychiatric help as driver faces nine charges
The sole survivor of the fatal Tampines crash sought psychiatric treatment, and the driver was charged with nine offences, including dangerous driving causing death, according to The Straits Times, with the development reported on 3 November following the crash on 27 October in Singapore. The driver, a 30-year-old man, had been arrested after fleeing the scene of the crash that killed a 24-year-old motorcyclist and his pregnant wife, and was later found to have been disqualified from driving until 2032.
Authorities have noted a sharp rise in the use of deregistered vehicles in crimes, prompting tougher penalties, as reported by The Straits Times. Earlier, a separate high-speed chase in Marina Bay involving a 43-year-old driver who evaded a police check and collided with two vehicles resulted in six charges, including dangerous driving causing hurt, reported by AsiaOne and The Straits Times.
