In January 2013, a motorcyclist in her 30s was knocked down by a car making a right turn from Lentor Avenue onto Yio Chu Kang Road, even though the traffic lights were in her favour.
She was killed in the accident. Grief-stricken, her mother fell ill and died soon after. The errant driver was subsequently fined $8,000 and had his driving licence suspended for five years.
