SINGAPORE: After a two-year
investigation, the man blamed for causing the death of a car
salesgirl was charged in court on Monday.
Regan Lee Da Wen, 26, was accused of causing the death of
22-year-old He Xueli, by driving a Mazda MX-5 convertible
dangerously during a test drive in October 2005.
Lee was said to have lost control of the car along Upper Paya Lebar
Road, causing it to go over the road divider.
The car crashed head-on into a BMW, before flipping and smashing
into a van.
Lee was unhurt but the agent sitting beside him died in hospital
later.
Five people in the black BMW were taken to hospital for breathing
difficulties and chest pains, and a couple in the van escaped
unscathed.
Lee, who will appear in court on June 18 for a pre-trial
conference, faces a maximum five-year jail term if found
guilty.
He is out on a S$10,000 bail.
Other than the criminal charge, Lee is also facing civil
proceedings, brought against him by other parties in the accident.

Served him right,with this kind of drivers on Singapore Roads,we
are better off without him... And still came to various forums that
he is still looking for cars that are faster. Hope he get
disqualified from driving until he is six feet under...
