I rememebr that incident. The girl only got her licence not long before the accident, if I am not wrong. Apparently she had gon clubbing and was on her way home.

dragg SG

my condolence to the parents.

Cpt.ZR SG

I think the SE died because of the broken neck which results her to have cardiac arrest... If i'm not wrong cardiac arrest is when your heart overworks then gives up or sthg like tt...

Aiyo... sad case man.. They said te fella drove his dad's MERC to test drive the MX 5... tsk tsk tsk.. then totalled the car till like tt... how is he gonna explain to the SE's parents man...

bounce34 SG

a the mx-5 is brand new..wow and it jus went off in like 10 secs..o my son..

Steph84 SG

is it the car banged into a tree?

iveco SG

Maybe. I can't really recall the exact details.

SE most likely died from broken neck.

Here is a simple illustration.

The glossopharyngeal nerve, trigeminal nerve and the vagus nerve are cranial nerves that serves the motor and sensory portion of the head and the neck. The phrenic nerve (coming from C3, C4 and C5) is crucial in supplying the diaphragm (which helps us breathe)... If you sever that nerve, it's a bye bye, explaining why in paramedics, you have to stabilize the neck if you see an injured motorist lying on the roadside (the nerve is C3, 4 and 5) which is located behind your neck, which explains some movies why they crack their own necks and straight away fall down dead...

she was burnt to death.

that was horrible too. what a way to die!!!

Yes, i know it. It must have been the metal plates!

Wonder if the LTA doing the circle line construction would pay to the girl's family?

Its afterall a major part of the accident is caused by the metal plates! bring it to Straits times forum.

And don't forget condemned criminals don't die from aphyxiation, but from the snapping of the backbone.

I don't recall any fatal car accident at any other MRT tunnelling worksite. I don't consider it LTA's fault that the poor girl died.

so_nice SG

not a very close fren but recalling her incident still makes me feels sad..even now

Cpt.ZR SG

uh… so all it had happened is because of the dumb oversteering thing? and the metal plates? Oh man… next time wanna test drive better go PIE and go on to the left lane…..

so_nice SG

a word of advice to all those rich young chaps here who thinks the road belongs to them, pls brush up ur skills before thinking of taking ur posh rides thru the bends like some takumi..and pls understand, that is just cartoon. dun think too much.

especially to some rich young chaps in this forum(dun wanna mention names..) boasting and driving without a licence, go get ur licence 1st! dun be a hazard to others.

LOL. Most cars in singapore are front wheel drive. Sunny, City, Latio, Altis, Camry, etc etc etc are all FF layouts. They will be more likely to understeer than oversteer.. Only a few cars are FR. Evolution, Sti, Integra and a few others..

Correction by cleong

Evo, Sti - AWD

Integra - FR

alexkusu SG

actually what happened?

I have a friend in KL, her mom came home one day in M5, park the car in car porch then suddenly the car engine exploded. Duno why..maybe too hot or wat. Part of the house damaged also.

iveco SG

Takumi ar? Bunta leh?

nightsky87 SG

Haha. Er, Mitsubishi Spacewagon are not used for racing?

Sorry bro, may I know is cardial arrest means heart attack??

Just now at 5.40pm I try to go home by the way where the accident happens, I find myself easily doing 60-70km at this "peak hour". The traffic light actually creat enought space for you to speed. I am driving a BMW 318 still cant reach 60-70, think the new MX-5 can go beyond that easily. Me going towards AMK dircetion, should be the correct direction and traffic just now should be heavier than Sat 7.00pm same direction.

I still cant believe 40-50km/h can flip MX-5 over the other lane as the crub really not low. Anyway, if the driver say not speeding then not speeding lor, he cant change anything. Hope he will be more careful if he ever return behind the wheel.

god bless everyone.

Heart attack is a general term. There are many forms of 'heart attack', myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, etc. In this case cardiac arrest probably means failure/disruption of heart function due to extreme shock or stress.
