Fatal accident along Upper Thomson Road kills one woman
SINGAPORE: A 76-year-old lady was knocked down and killed by a suspected drunk-driver Sunday morning at 6.50am.
Mrs Helen Wee and her husband were on their way to church on Upper Thomson Road when they were hit by a car. Paramedics pronounced Mrs Wee dead at the scene.
Her husband, 76-year-old Peter Wee, sustained head injuries and was sent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
The driver, a 33-year-old Chinese man, was arrested for drink-driving and is now out on bail.
The couple’s son said they were walking along the road instead of the pavement as the walkway was occupied by cars.
"There’s no pavement at all. The pavement is all being parked by cars," said Mr Wee. "So, there’s no way anybody can walk on the pavements even though it’s there. That’s why (my parents) probably walked along the side of the road, by the pavement beside the cars, and that’s where my mom got hit."
Indeed, the Lord give and take away. We do not know when He will call us back to Him. Did we treasure the time we have with our love one? Does our life reflect His glory? Good question to ponder eh?
