SINGAPORE - A man who caused a female pedestrian to suffer severe brain injuries after he hit her while riding his electric scooter in 2016 has been ordered to pay her damages of over $445,000.

Madam Ang Liu Kiow, a 57-year-old mother of three, is still unable to speak, read or write nearly four years after the accident and needs help in daily activities such as dressing, using the toilet and eating.
