On Monday, Daniel Shaun, 29,
was sentenced to three months' jail for driving dangerously and
banned from driving for 1 1/2
years.
He was also slapped with nine months' jail for
being involved in the delivery of 350 cartons of duty unpaid
cigarettes from a warehouse at Kallang Way to Geylang Lorong
13.
While driving along Upper Serangoon
Road at 1 am on May 15 this year, he noticed a car with Customs
officers following him. He sped up and beat
the red light at the junction in an attempt to lose the tail.
However, his lorry smashed into Mr Chan Yong Thiang's taxi which
was crossing the junction along Potong Pasir Avenue
1.
Shaun kept going but Customs officers stopped
his lorry some 150 m from the junction. The taxi was badly damaged
and Mr Chan, 43, injured his right
hand.
