On Saturday (Nov. 23), one Seet TingPoh took to Facebook in an impassioned appeal for witnesses in an accident that happened earlier that day at around 8:56am.
Grandmother a victim of hit-and-run accident
According to her post, Seet's grandmother is a victim of an alleged hit-and-run incident involving a motorcyclist along the T-junction of New Upper Changi Road and Bedok South Avenue 1.
Here is the Google Street View screenshot Seet posted of where the accident allegedly took place:
Motorcyclist believed to have ran red light & hit her
The motorcyclist, Seet wrote, is believed to be a male riding a small cc (capacity of the engine) Class 2B motorcycle who had apparently ran a red light while on the road.
While Seet says her grandmother does not remember the licence plate number of the motorcycle, the elderly woman said she recalls him stopping to look at her after hitting her before speeding off.
Seet writes that her grandmother is currently warded at Changi General Hospital, and may require an operation to insert a metal plate into her leg.
Anyone who witnessed the accident is requested to contact Seet at +65 8126 9805.
