SINGAPORE – An e-scooter rider appeared in court on Monday (Nov 11) over his alleged involvement in a Bedok North accident that killed a cyclist in September.
Hung Kee Boon, 20, was charged with causing the death of logistics assistant packer Ong Bee Eng, 65, by performing a rash act.
He was also handed two charges under the Active Mobility Act.
Madam Ong is believed to be the first fatality from a collision with a personal mobility device (PMD) on a public path here.
She was cycling to her home in Chai Chee Street at around 10pm on Sept 21 after attending a wake when the accident occurred.
She was unconscious when she was taken to Changi General Hospital.
Madam Ong suffered a serious brain injury, as well as fractures to her ribs and collar bone, and fell into a coma.
She died four days later.
