Wife of food delivery rider killed in Kovan road accident says she can never forgive the driver

Singapore – A food delivery rider on a bicycle was involved in a fatal accident along Tampines Road on Tuesday (Mar 23). The wife of the victim told the media that she could never forgive the driver.

Mr Simon Teo, 42, was delivering food when he was allegedly run over while waiting at the T-junction to turn right on his electric bicycle into Hougang Avenue 1.

Mr Teo was allegedly hit from behind by a yellow Mini Cooper. He was sent to the hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

The deceased has left behind his wife and their eight-year-old daughter.

The 34-year-old driver was arrested for drink driving and careless driving causing death.

Speaking to Shin Min Daily News, the wife said, “I can’t forgive the driver!”

“I saw that the driver’s face was flushed and looked like he just drank, I can’t forgive him ever, and I don’t wish for him to come to the wake.”

The wife cried uncontrollably upon arriving at the scene and seeing her husband lying on the ground, said an eyewitness to Shin Min.

The woman had also questioned the driver if he was intoxicated; however, the latter appeared expressionless and did not respond.

Facebook page ROADS.sg posted photos of the accident as the family was seeking witnesses to the event.

A photo showed the rider’s bike down on the ground; his delivery bag ripped apart with the contents scattered on the road.

The impact was strong enough to damage the vehicle’s front bumper and shattered the windshield.

The wife waited at the hospital while doctors attended to her husband. A couple of hours later, they broke the sad news that they could not save him.

As her husband made most decisions in the household, the woman admitted feeling lost at the moment.

She told Shin Min that she wished to express gratitude to the Good Samaritans who stepped forward to help her husband after the accident happened.

The individuals checked on the man’s condition, held an umbrella over him as it was raining and directed traffic. They had also called the wife to inform her of the accident, allowing her to see her husband one last time.

The woman hopes that eyewitnesses to the accident or those with video footage could contact her.

一名送餐车手的妻子在科万道路交通事故中丧生，她说她永远不能原谅司机

新加坡–周二（3月23日），一名骑自行车的送餐车手在淡滨尼路（Tampines Road）发生一起致命事故。受害人的妻子告诉媒体，她永远不能原谅驾驶员。

现年42岁的西蒙·特奥（Simon Teo）当时正在运送食物，据说他在T字形路口等待电动自行车右转进入后港大道1号时被撞倒。

据称，Teo先生被一辆黄色的Mini Cooper从后面撞了。他被送往医院，因伤致死。

死者已将妻子和八岁的女儿留在了身后。

这位34岁的司机因酒后驾驶和粗心驾驶导致死亡而被捕。

说起新明日报，妻子说，“我不能原谅的司机！”

“我看到驾驶员的脸红了，看上去就像他在喝酒，我无法原谅他，我也不希望他醒来。”

新民的目击者说，妻子到达现场并看到丈夫躺在地上时失控地哭了起来。

那个女人还问过司机是否醉酒。但是，后者显得毫无表情，没有回应。

Facebook的页面ROADS.sg张贴了事故的照片，当时这家人正在寻找事件的目击者。

一张照片显示出骑手的自行车掉在地上；他的提包撕开了，里面的东西散落在路上。

冲击力足以损坏车辆的前保险杠，并使挡风玻璃破碎。

妻子在医院等医生的丈夫在医院就诊。几个小时后，他们传出了一个不幸的消息，说他们无法挽救他。

由于丈夫在家庭中做出了大多数决定，因此该妇女承认此刻感到失落。

她对新民说，她希望对好撒玛利亚人表示感谢，他们在事故发生后主动帮助她的丈夫。

当下雨和有方向的交通时，人们检查了那个人的状况，在他身上撑了一把雨伞。他们还打电话给妻子将事故告知她，让她最后一次见到丈夫。

女人希望事故的目击者或有录像的目击者可以与她联系。

据报道，其他送餐工人正在集中资金帮助死者的家人。
