DURING the morning peak hours of April 23, salesman Chan Chi Heng was speeding at 160kmh moments before his car smashed into a truck. He died and yesterday the Coroner's Court ruled it an accident or a misadventure. According to a witness who was driving to the city with her father, two cars raced past her as she was travelling along Changi Coast Road in the direction of Nicoll Drive at about 9.30am on April 24 this year. She told the court that they were racing 'recklessly and carelessly'. She then saw Mr Chan trying to overtake the other car on the left before swerving right to escape hitting a slower-moving vehicle in front. He slammed head on into an oncoming DHL Global Mail truck. The other racer sped off. Civil Defence officers had to cut the wreck to free the truck driver and to get to Mr Chan's body. The other driver has recovered from arm and leg injuries.
