The story:
Okok... I happen to know the SE personally... And my heart goes out for her....
And if strike TOTO was me it would be great but i strike it in another way which is the I also know the driver of the MX 5.
Firstly, Rest In peace Angelia....
2ndly the story goes like this:
The driver was driving and he wasn't speeding, cos any kid will know the road is so congested at that time along upper paya lebar road and no way for u to speed under such congestion and a car swerve into his lane. he wanted to avoid the car by swerving left, but the road is made of metal plates and mind u the plates are slippery even if it's not wet, thus the MX 5 being a FR car the car oversteered instead. the driver isn't familair with a FR car tried to counter steer but the rear right of the car hit the divider and the car was tossed to the next lane. Mind u when a car oversteers with a driver not knowing how to control the oversteer( many of singapore drivers do not anyway) can go above the speed he was actually travelling thus going over the divider is not surprising at all.
Anyway with the rear right side hitting the divider, the force will make the frontal of the car slid to the left in a 180 angle, thus causing the car to flip (not somersault that type of flip) to the oppersite lanes. before the car actually landed again on the ground (it went over the divider of course not all 4 wheels are on contact with the ground), it so happen the angle the car is facing is the front of the car facing the right side meaning oncoming vehicles is going head on to the pessenger side, the BMW came smashing onto the car. and the MX 5 is still not really on 4 wheels yet thus the impact of a 1700kg car would easily flip a 1100kg car a few rounds into mid air as the mx 5 is in midair before the impact. (Kids also will know this). Doesn't nees the MX5 or the BMW to be speeding to cause the flip... 50-60km is all it takes. the the car landed on a van...... the rest is already publish on papers.
I wouldn't say it is not his fault BUT i would say judging from the situation it is not entirely his fault too... Call him names and assume watever theory all U want. But one thing I know is that the driver is going to live with guilt for the rest of his life. He hasn't been himself and is not in a right state of mind saying weird things like " I think i should go down and say sorry to her" such stuffs.
The gal is my Fren. And my heart hurts more than any one of u here. And I so happen to also know the driver which I was damn angry with him at first but after hearing how the accident occured and seeing him ao remourseful and sucidal makes me lost and pity him too...... Anyway he will sure face his punishment from the law but his worse is to live with a guilt the rest of his life.
And if u guys wanna ask me how come i know so much details of the whole accident.........................
I rushed down to the accident scene shortly after the accident. in fact the driver was in a daze and dun really know wat happen and i got the whole story fom the workers that witness the accident and from the van driver that the MX5 landed on. Later on then i get to hear the drivers side of the story which very similialy tally with the rest of the eye witnesses.
watever it is:
To Angelia: May your soul Rest in Peace and see u in heaven when it's my turn.
To her family and Boyfrend: My heart goes out to you. Sincere consoledense.
To the Driver: You will face punishment from the law and guilt ridden for the rest of your life. But you are alive and life still goes on. I know u feel like dieing. But u have your parents to think for. We already have one tragedy where a mother lost her daughter. we dun need another one where a mother and father will lose their son.
Been wanting to blog this down because I feel that finger pointing towards the driver is not fair, even thou this has happened some time ago.
He is feeling bad as it is and I don't see the need of people not knowing the true story to be pointing fingers and judging how reckless he is or he must be speeding. What about the passerby who pulled the poor gal out from the wreckage? Aren't they as guilty? Why am I saying that? As I am trained in first aid, I know that in an event of a bad fall or an accident, nobody except the paramedics are supposed to touch the victim! And clearly she died of a fractured neck, so by moving her out of the reckage those people killed her. Why nobody blame the passerby who pulled her out? The reason is again simple, they are trying to help, yeh help my ass! They made her injuries worst, as I see she might have a better chance of surviving if those people had not been nosy to pull her out!
The finger pointing, the driver is already feeling shitty as it is, why can't those people let it rest instead of speculating if he was speeding(in heavy traffic?!), playing GTA or what so ever? Just let the dead rest in peace and the driver alone!

Something to clarify, I do not know the victim and the driver. But I happened to know the person who wrote the story, the very same person (neighbour of the driver and friend of the victim) who introduced the drive to the car sales gal who died.

ermm... I do not know the 2 persons but I do know the person who wrote the story. He told me all about it. He was feeling extremely shitty because he recommended the driver (who is his neighbour) to the Gal who died.
Hi. Its a tragedy but no doubt, an accident. No one wish for this to happen. May the deceased rest in peace and her loved ones find closures. Hope you do not mind me linking to this article on my blog.
Sure if you like to link this to your blog I don't have a problem with that. :)
