Of recent days, many shook their heads in dismay hearing about a fatal accident that transpired last Saturday morning at Ang Mo Kio, in which a single mother was killed by a 17-year-old unlicensed driver.
46-year-old Lau Lee Kiau was on the way to work, riding together with her boyfriend on his motorbike. The teenager, who'd been driving a rental car, had crashed into the motorbike along the junction of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 and Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2, killing the woman and severely injuring her boyfriend. The unlicensed driver fled the scene, but was arrested the same day.
