Police arrest driver, 63, over AYE hit-and-run case

SINGAPORE – A 63-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run incident on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE).

A white Toyota Camry was caught on video on June 15 deliberately swerving close to and then hitting a motorcycle on the expressway. The motorcyclist and pillion rider sustained injury after falling onto the road.

The Straits Times and Channel NewsAsia said police confirmed today (June 20) that the driver of the car has been arrested for committing a rash act causing hurt.

The Straits Times added that the arrest was made on Friday.

The motorcyclist in the video, 29-year-old dispatch driver Muhammad Fazly, has been given a week’s medical leave, said the pillion rider.

A video uploaded on the Roads.sg Facebook page showed a vehicle bearing the same number plate as the Camry changing lanes dangerously in a few instances over the last couple of years.
