This is obviously not the Integra. Is it one of the other 3 vehicles involved? if that's true, from the extent of the damage then the Integra must have been going very very fast. [knife]

 

There is definite speed involve for a person to be flung out of the car, be it there's a pothole or not.

 

Of course, the ultimate killer is without seat belt.

 

When one is driving too fast and at night, you hardly have time to take pervasive action.

 

Last, the driver's experience, he is after all a young driver.

Misadventure: Man killed in 160kmh race

 

Truck driver recalls horror of head-on crash with speeding car

 

Tue, Jul 10, 2007

The Straits Times

 

In the three weeks of his stay at Changi General Hospital, a delivery driver

kept replaying in his head that April morning's sight of a black Toyota coming

straight at his truck at high speed.

 

April 23 started out a fine day for Mr Eio Cheng How, 37, who works for DHL. He

was driving along Changi Coast Road towards the city at about 9.40am when he

saw the charging black car.

 

Witnesses were to say later that it was going at about 160kmh in the hands of

Mr Kenneth Chan Chi Heng, 28. The speed limit along the road is 70kmh.

 

Mr Chan, an export clerk who had earned his driving licence in 2003, died

instantly of a fractured skull when his car rammed into Mr Eio's truck.

 

A Coroner's Court yesterday ruled his death a misadventure. State Coroner

Ronald Gwee said Mr Chan "had been driving at a very high speed and in a very

dangerous, rash and reckless manner".

 

Mr Eio, who is still on medical leave, broke his pelvis, right arm and right

leg. Still wearing a metal brace on one leg and wheelchair bound, he recounted

his harrowing experience to The Straits Times in his Toa Payoh home yesterday.

 

He said: "It all happened so fast, there was no time to react."

 

The impact of the collision tipped his truck over on its left side. Mr Chan's

car flipped and spun around and was rendered a total wreck. Its roof was ripped

off, its front smashed in and the whole right side of the car crumpled in.

 

Both airbags activated, but they could cushion Mr Chan only so much. He was

dead when the paramedics arrived.

 

Insurance agent Hanani Makktom, 40, who at the time was driving towards the

city with her father, told the police two cars whizzed past her on the road in

the direction of Nicoll Drive.

 

She said in her police report she saw Mr Chan try to overtake the other car on

the left before he did so on the right.

 

The police found out that Mr Chan, who was alone in his car, then cut into the

lane for oncoming traffic, but was unable to veer back into his lane in time,

which put him on a collision course with Mr Eio's DHL Global Mail truck.

 

Civil defence officers had to cut through the wreckage of both vehicles to get

to his body and to free Mr Eio. The delivery truck driver was in intensive care

for five days before being moved to the general ward and then to Ang Mo Kio

Thye Hua Kwan Hospital for rehabilitation from May 16.

 

Mr Eio's nightmares are gone, but he has not been able to get back to work.

 

His wife, who wanted to be known only as Mrs Eio, said of the dark days when he

was in intensive care: "The doctors even said his leg might have to be

amputated. We never thought this would happen to him. He has always been a

careful driver."

 

Mr Eio said he hoped all drivers, especially younger ones, will be more careful

on the roads. The police say the number of speed-related fatal accidents went

up by 15 last year, from 51 cases in 2005.

Bro, if low speed by right it shouldnt skid until cross the lanes and jump the dividers. End of the day is kuku driver la, road wet still want hao lian. Sigh. Sometimes really 1 mistake can regret whole life.

Over here alot of pot hole, as as below 60-70 shouldnt be major issue. My guesstimate is the speed shld be more then 90kmh. Quite normal.. young chap+tiong chia+night time no car+got girl in front seat.

 

i think it takes alot of factors for this unfortunate thing to happen.... speed, loose gravel, rainy weather, lous tyres, panic, etc..

 

based on your guesstimate, what speed do you think the person is driving for the below accident in the link.

 

Dry floor, brightly lit, small space....

 

Car flipped in MCSP

first of all, why is there such a big hole on the road....? any barrier? if yes, how can the driver missed it?

 

Already say there is no barrier. These days its raining so heavily, visibility will be very poor. Plus a wet road and a pot hole covered with water won't look different.

The driver only 23.

 

Too young to be driving an integra............ Likely registered under another person.

 

BTW Straits Times used the word "speeding" in it's report. I wonder if it is a guess or something they have ascertained.
