Cyclist flung onto front
windscreen
HER car rammed into a cyclist from the rear so hard that he flew
and hit the front windscreen, cracking part of it, before rolling
onto the road.
But Cleopatra Wong Yuin Ping, 30, thought the body that smashed
into the windscreen was a rotten tree branch that had fallen.
She did not bother to stop and continued driving her car along
Holland Road.
Wong was also unaware that her victim's bicycle was stuck in the
undercarriage of the Lexus ES300 belonging to her father, despite
the noise of the bicycle scraping against the road.
The bicycle was dragged for about 2km before it was
dislodged.
When Wong, who was a teacher then, reached home, she went to
bed.
She realised something was wrong only when she woke up in the
morning and found out that the police had towed away the
five-year-old Lexus.
Taken to court over the accident, Wong claimed that the
soundproofing of the Lexus was so good that she thought the
"sounds" she heard were caused by the tree branch.
Last month, she was fined a total of $2,400 – $800 on each of
three charges – and disqualified from driving for a year.
She had pleaded guilty to inconsiderate driving, failing to stop
after an accident and failing to render assistance after an
accident.
