Drink driver arrested for another accident at Ferrari crash site

SINGAPORE - The site of the horrific Ferrari crash two weeks ago was again the scene of another accident early Saturday morning.

A Lexus and a Comfort taxi were involved in a traffic accident at the junction of Rochor Road and Victoria Street, local media reports said.

One of the victims - the male taxi passenger - was sent to the Singapore General Hospital after the accident, which was reported to the police at about 3.15am this morning. He received outpatient treatment.

According to a latest statement by the police, a 30-year-old driver of the Lexus has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving and dangerous driving.

A breathalyser test result showed 42 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, exceeding the prescribed legal limit of 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres. If convicted, he will be disqualified from driving for at least 12 months.

Those found guilty of drink driving will also lose their driving licences and have to retake the theory and practical driving tests in order to obtain their driving licences again.

In addition, first-time offenders can be fined between $1,000 and $5,000, or jailed up to 6 months.

Repeat offenders may be punished with a maximum fine of $30,000 and a mandatory jail term of up to three years. They may also be caned up to six strokes should death or serious injury be caused.

Lexus driver charged with drink-driving, beating red light

SINGAPORE - The driver who was behind the wheel of the Lexus that was involved in an accident with a taxi at the junction of Victoria Street and Rochor Road was charged in court on Wednesday.

Kelvin Seah Koon Yong, 30, is said to have been drink-driving and driving dangerously.

He had allegedly beat the red light and ended up colliding with a Comfort taxi at the same site where the horrific Ferrari crash happened about two weeks ago.

Earlier, a breathalyser test result showed 42 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. This exceeds the prescribed legal limit of 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres.

According to The Straits Times (ST), police prosecutor requested for an adjournment as the case may be handed over to a deputy public prosecutor.

Seah, who does not intend to engage a lawyer, will appear in court again on June 13.

ST also said that Seah's father hurled vulgarities at press photographers outside the Subordinate courts and accused reporters of 'creating a big hoo-ha over a small matter'.
