Singaporean dies after being hit by car in Johor Bahru car-wash centre
SINGAPORE: A Singaporean was killed when he was hit by a car at a car-wash centre in Johor Bahru, at about 11pm on Saturday.
Witnesses said that Mr Seow Wei Hua was sitting on a sofa at the centre, waiting for his car to be washed, when the tragedy struck.
A foreign worker, believed to be a Bangladeshi, was washing another car when he accidentally stepped on the accelerator of the car, which rammed into Mr Seow.
The 31-year-old accountant suffered injuries to his body and was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.
The authorities in Johor Bahru are now looking for the worker who sped off. They said it is not clear why he drove off.
They said that he must surrender within 24 hours, or a warrant of arrest will be issued.
