Young Heng Yong Keat's intentions were well-meaning — he simply wanted to bring his elderly grandmother to her favourite fried bee hoon stall near their Lorong Ah Soo home for breakfast.
Unfortunately, they never made it there. On Sept 18, 2014, Keat failed to give way a bus while making a right turn and got into a serious accident. The collision killed his 75-year-old grandmother as well as seriously injuring his 18-year-old brother. The brother was temporarily in a coma in the aftermath of the crash.
Heng managed to escape with only minor injuries. The legal repercussions however were more severe — The New Paper reports that Heng was fined $4,000 and received a four-year driving ban for causing death by negligence.
