A Singapore Airlines pilot has admitted causing a high-speed crash that has left a colleague fighting for his life in hospital.

Benjamin Yonghao Wu, 32, has been charged with two counts of reckless driving causing injury after a crash with a 4WD towing a horse float at the intersection of Weedons Ross Rd and Maddisons Rd, near Rolleston, south of Christchurch on Wednesday.

Singapore Airlines chief steward Chew Weng Wai is today still in a critical condition with brain injuries in ICU (Intensive Care Unit) at Christchurch Hospital, a District Health Board spokeswoman confirmed to APNZ.

Stewardess Vanessa Leonara Savio Coehlo is in a stable condition in a general ward following surgery.

Two passengers were unhurt and have "returned home", police say.

A Singapore Airlines spokesman said today: "Our priority has not changed, which is to provide our staff and their families the highest standard of care and assistance. However, due to our privacy policy, we are unable to disclose any further details about our staff."

At Christchurch District Court today, Wu, of Singapore, appeared in the dock to plead guilty to both reckless driving causing injury charges.
Defence counsel Kerry Cook asked for sentencing to proceed today.

He said the airline had flown over the victims' families, but not the family of Wu who has been left "isolated and under stress".

He is staying at a city hotel and with "a significant amount of effort" he has brought $15,000 into New Zealand which he hopes will be offered as emotional harm compensation to the "split between the two [victims] as the court sees fit".

Police however asked for a delay in sentencing to find out the exact conditions of the two victims. Police prosecutor sergeant Glenn Pascoe said one victim "might still pass away".
Police also wanted more time to get more information from the family of victims before sentence.

Judge Jane McMeeken adjourned the case until Monday, "with a view to sentencing on that date", but warned it still might not happen on that day.

Police have Wu's passport, and he was bailed on the condition he would not drive a motor vehicle and not travel outside Christchurch.

A Singapore Airlines spokeswoman said: "Our immediate concern is for the welfare of our staff and we shall accord them and their families the highest standard of care and assistance, which is practicable."

The crash came amid a spate of serious crashes on Canterbury roads, including three fatal crashes in as many days.

King Wai Yip, a 66-year old Hong Kong national, was killed in a head-on collision on the Geraldine-Fairlie Highway on Tuesday.

Police said a driver was believed to have crossed the centre line. Charges of careless driving causing death and injury were likely to follow.
On Monday, cyclist Ming-Chih Hsieh, a 33-year-old overseas tourist, was killed in a crash with a truck.

The following day, Leithfield 19-year old Aaron Thomson-Clark, also known as Aaron James, died in a crash at Waikuku, 30km north of Christchurch.

Why the fucking road in NZ so unsafe to drive. What the fuck up country!

Don't blame the roads. Most of the spectacular road accidents in Australia and NZ are caused by Sinkie drivers – that's a fact. You don't hear of American or German or even Japanese drivers crashing on roads down under.

We have the toughest and most expensive driving test in the world – basic theory, advanced theory, evaluation, circuit test, road test, parking, defensive module – all for about $3,000, and we still churn out the most fucked up drivers in the world. Americans just need to show that they can drive forward and reverse to get a licence. And they're far safer and better drivers.

Maybe we should just go back to the good old days where we just took an MCQ Highway code and a simple non-circuit practical road test.

At 32, he is probably a first officer or more likely a second officer. I thought for sinkees, only RSAF pilots can be SIA pilots. So, this guy must not be a sinkee then.

 

[ontheA1]

Sinkee drivers can only drive in Sinkie where there are numerous traffic lights and in calm wind conditions. On the straight many sinkies cannot hold their concentration and even start to get drowsy. The strong crosswinds also make it difficult for sinkies to cope.

this guy flys a goddam plane,what u talking about strong crosswinds?

 

[laksaboy]

Sinkie driver = admits to causing accident.

Tiong driver = denies being at fault, refuses to give compensation.

Romanian driver = already out of the country when the police arrive.

Cars and planes are different I would think. Any pilots here to shed some light?

Drivers of all races have faults.

 

[amzwsn]

worst are female drivers.

Tiong driver = denies being at fault, refuses to give compensation.

PAP connected Elite = slap on the wrist even though it was obvious he will be jailed ( it helps if the one connected have served alot of tai tai elites to beautify them with plastics) LoL

It's not just crosswinds. I've got friends who don't even dare drive to KL on the North-South Highway because they tend to fall asleep at the wheel on long journeys. Not surprising, considering that our longest road, the PIE, is only 42 km. Many accidents involving Sinkies abroad occur because they fall asleep and either drive into a ditch or tree, cross to the opposite lane or drive onto the path of a train.

Yes falling asleep at the wheel is a great danger to drivers cos many of them dont even know they are tired when they become tired. Its also very boring driving long distances and that can cause sleepiness. It doesn't help that the other occupants of the car are asleep and no one chats with the driver to help him stay awake and alert.

Too many of those Malaysian crooks lurking behind every corner to do us in. Too many lah!
