SINGAPORE: A 21-year-old man who was arrested over an alleged hit-and-run incident that flung two pedestrians into the air along Sims Avenue was charged in court on Monday (Mar 25).

The charges allege that Zachary Chin Jia Le was driving someone else's car without consent and when he did not have a licence.

Chin was handed a total of seven charges over the collision that occurred around 11.40pm on Saturday along Sims Avenue, towards Sims Avenue East.

These include failing to keep a proper lookout while driving, driving a car without a licence or insurance, failing to stop after a traffic accident and driving off with another person's car.

Chin collided with two pedestrians who were crossing the road, flinging them into the air and causing them to suffer grievous hurt, according to charge sheets, a police statement and footage online.

The 51-year-old and and 32-year-old woman were taken to hospital and were warded for treatment, while Chin allegedly fled.

Must jailed 10 years + barred from driving for life.

I suspect he will keep doing it even if he's banned from driving for life

This type seems like life sentence more appropriate?

lifetime driving ban would be best

If he can repeat offense for driving without a valid license, he may do it again regardless of driving ban

I wonder whose car did he drive

 

[BigMonkey]

got test hair roots?

I wonder whose car did he drive

parents' car probably

but if he were to be slapped w/a lifetime driving ban, all the more he should be aware of its consequence, if he were to get caught again

 

[joestar]

Poor pedestrians flew up like bowling pins bit by bowling bowl. Yikes

 

[Visor9999]

These days no licence driving too common among youngsters. What is Govt doing?

 

[Visor9999]

Insurance company where got so stupid.. no lic no talk liao..

Insurance company won’t pay since no license. TP should implement system for all drivers to check in with their driving licence before starting cars

 

[Sango123]

parents' car probably

but if he were to be slapped w/a lifetime driving ban, all the more he should be aware of its consequence, if he were to get caught again

The person who own the car suay

hopefully a proper jail sentence will deterred him
