The Straits Times
AN ELDERLY woman died on the spot after she was knocked down by a car on Saturday afternoon.
Madam Kum Mei Lan, in her 60s, was pronounced dead by paramedics at 1.15pm.
The accident occurred at the junction of Clementi Road and Sunset Way at about 1pm.
Madam Kum lived in Clementi, near the accident site, and was on her way to visit a relative nearby, said the dead woman's daughter-in-law.
Holding his wife's slippers and black handbag in his left hand, Madam Kum's husband was too distraught to speak to The Sunday Times at the accident scene.
A woman who arrived later was seen crying. She had to be calmed down by Madam Kum's son.
The accident in the middle lane caused traffic to slow to a crawl.
The driver is helping in police investigations.
how come got 2 cars?
There were 2 cars stopped right in the middle of the lane. I'm not sure about the 2nd car. Maybe it's the first one that hit the old lady and the other hit on the car's back or something. But at the scene, the two cars stopped in the middle lane causing other vehicle to access only the right most lane.
pass by it after school also. i thk is the black car is the one who knock over the woman. quite sad. she died on spot.. saw tp took out canvas to cover the body. and can see that the driver is very distraugh. he had his young daughter by his side and both look shocked and want to cry like that. anyway, my heart ache a bit when i saw the belongings of the victim by the road side. at first i thought is auntie abt 30-40 yrs old.. then start to think that she must have children at home bla bla bla.. anyway.. sad.
so sad...
u saw the scene much earlier that i did. i was driving at that moment and all i saw was blood. my hands were all sweaty and butterflies in my stomach. pity the old lady. she's a pedestrian right? but not sure who to blame. cause the accident occured few metres away from the traffic light. sigh. take care everyone!
the picture damn saddd...!!!
