And yet another senseless accident that should not have occured.
In the wee hours of 22nd December, a motorbike was caught beating the red light at the junction of Woodlands Ave 6 and 7 near Admiralty MRT Station.
He was going so fast that he actually mowed down a pedestrian crossing the road and tossing her into oncoming traffic.
What matters could be so pressing that the rider did not have time to stop at the red lights?
When misused, a speeding vehicle is akin to a killing machine capable of taking lives!
The 20 years old male rider was arrested while the 40 years old female pedestrian survived and is recovering in hospital.
But, what if the victim was an elderly? I doubt the victim would have survived such an impact then.
The rider should be tried for manslaughter and be banned from operating all classes of vehicles for life.
It's imperative that such dangerous riders be taken off the road to ensure the safety of other road users!
