Goh Pei Ling, 18, and her pregnant sister-in-law, Chan Qian Jin, 20, were traveling back to Choa Chu Kang after their prawn fishing session.

They hailed a private-hire car, believed to be an Uber driven by a 22-year-old driver.

The incident apparently involved the aforementioned car, a van, and a lorry.

Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that the the van had overtaken the lorry and stopped in front of it, which forced the lorry to brake as well.

The Uber driver is then believed to have rammed into the two vehicles.

According to The Straits Times, the incident took place near the Woodlands Avenue 2 exit at about 3.40am on Sunday.

The van driver and two car passengers were taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, police said.

Sister-in-law

It is a heartbreaking incident, and we could never hope to understand the grief felt by the family and friends of the deceased.

Perhaps the closest we will get, is this extremely personal note the pregnant sister-in-law wrote with regards to the incident.

In it, she lamented her helplessness, and chided those who had constantly pestered her in the wake of the tragedy.

This is what she wrote.

We (her and her husband) just got married and Peiling passed away due to car accident.

On the newspaper it says that within 3 days there's wedding and also funeral. It says that Peiling passed away and I'm injured.

It says that I am guilty because I can't save her.

I put all the blame on myself when this incident happen. How I crawl out of that car bleeding so badly but I don't even look at myself, all I did was searching (search) for Peiling and looking (look) after her.

How I keep putting my hand near her nose to check if she's still breathing.

How I keep patting her chest to make her feel better and wiping away her blood from her nose just in case she can't breathe.

How I continuously shouting for her name asking her to wake up. Who know how I felt?

How much I blame myself like I'm the cause of everything. How it feels to be me right now?

How terrible it is when all this happened. Do you think I feel good when all this happen?

No one knows how I look at myself now. I can't even pay respect to her because I'm pregnant.

All you know was posting on Internet and Newspaper saying about all this, not even allowing Peiling to rest in peace, but still coming down to ask this and that.

All you know about was your job, busybody about her death when it doesn't concern you. But you don't even care about how people felt. Did I ask for it?

She cannot go to the funeral, because some believe that it is bad luck for a pregnant woman to be at a funeral or wake.
