SINGAPORE: The driver of a Ferrari, which was involved in the deadly crash in May this year, was travelling at 178 kilometres per hour (kph) just before the collision - almost three times the speed limit of 60 kph for the road.
This was revealed in a video shown during a coroner's inquiry into the accident, which left three people dead.
Ma Chi, a China national, allegedly ran a red light and his vehicle collided with a taxi, which then crashed into a motorcycle.
The accident was captured on a video recorder installed in the Ferrari.
The video showed that the car was moving at a high speed towards the junction of Victoria Street and Rochor Road, even though the lights had turned red.
The footage then showed the taxi, driven by Cheng Teck Hock, appearing in front of the Ferrari from the right.
The court heard that Ma Chi, along with a woman passenger, were both wearing seat belts.
A toxicology report also revealed that chlorpheniramine, a medication used to treat allergy or flu, was detected in Ma's urine sample.
However, it is inconclusive if this has any bearing on the cause of the crash.
The case continues on Friday.

the taxi driver family do get some form of compensation. His daughter gets to continue her studies.
compensation;
by who? i don't remember
how much? i don't know
fair bo? no ideal
I'm not a detail person, never get figures right.
-
PAY PAY PAY~~~~~~~
-
even if the insurer did not abide to their obligation of 3rd party claims,
the victims' Families can sue & claim from the deceased estate.
but the case will drag and drag... by the time the claims are given, maybe the daughter already completed her degree studies.
have to see Pro Alien Party's reaction.

Actually AXA gave advance payout to victims of the crash, even before the Ferrari driver was legally found guilty.

But AXA seeking reimbrusement from the Ferrari driver family.
But the Family of the Ferrari driver suing AXA, read yourself :
THE insurers of the Ferrari involved in the crash that killed a taxi driver and his passenger and injured two others have taken the unusual step of offering advance payouts to the victims.
Normally, an insurer’s payout to third-party victims would not be made until the insured driver is found to be at fault by the court, or until the consent of the driver’s family is obtained.
In the May 12 crash, Mr Ma Chi, 31, is said to have run a red light along Victoria Street.His car hit a taxi, which then hit a motorcycle. The cabby and his Japanese passenger died, while two others were injured.
AXA Insurance Singapore gave notice in July to the family of Mr Ma that it regards the incident as a collision, not an accident.
This means it will not provide insurance coverage for the family, but will settle the claims of third-party victims and then seek to be reimbursed by the family.
The family has challenged AXA’s stand and a potentially landmark court case to settle the issue is pending.
AXA said yesterday that it had asked the injured victims – Mr Muhammad Najib Ghazali, 26, and Ms Wu Weiwei, in her 20s – and the families of Mr Cheng Teck Hock and Ms Shigemi Ito to submit their claims. It has settled an interim claim from Ms Wu for her medical costs, while responses from the others are pending.
Stressing that the crash was an “exceptional case” which was not covered by the insurance policy, AXA refuted the family’s defence as “unreasonable”.
It said in court papers filed yesterday that if traffic conditions were poor, as claimed by the Ferrari driver’s family, then “the response of a prudent and reasonable driver will be to reduce speed to ensure the safety of himself, his passengers and other road users”.
“The driver drove his Ferrari at a speed far in excess of the limit for the road and went through a junction where the lights were red against him for a substantial period of time,” it added.
An AXA spokesman made it clear this was an extreme case “sitting far beyond the risks that motor insurance policies cover. We are of the view that as a responsible insurer, we provide cover for risk but we cannot guarantee cover for extreme acts of recklessness”.
AXA, which has a presence in 57 countries, is one of the largest motor insurers in Singapore. It insured more than 120,000 cars and paid nearly $100 million in claims in motor insurance last year.

i hope they do get some compensation, but no amount of compensation can return his daughter a dad, and his wife a husband.

But what is the best Insurance company for speeders? AXA is good because they pay before investigations are over.

AXA had done a great job here
They pay upfront first to the third party, show care and concern to the victim, great PR tactic
And claim all damage from the Ma's family, well done.
This serve a notice to all sports car owner/insuree, don't speed with your machine and think it is covered, and victim are too poor to file any claim on your responsibilty, AXA will do the job right.
