Woman charged with causing pedestrian’s death by colliding with her on faulty bicycle

A woman was charged on Wednesday ( Aug 28 ) with colliding with a pedestrian while she was riding a broken bicycle.

Foreign national Li Lanying, 52, was handed one matter of causing death by a careless act, not equivalent to criminal crime.

On March 8, 2023, Li was riding a bike along Martaban Road and Balestier Road at about 9.10pm, according to the cost.

That stretch of road was a” one street two-way path”, the command stated.

Li is accused of riding the scooter despite knowing that its rear brakes were failing and that it was not in decent problem.

Madam Lee Lai Kuen, 65, and her companion collided in the middle of the street as a result.

Li did n’t give a hint as to how she would confess.

She was personal, saying she had a sick father and had household problems.

She claimed that the cost was beyond her control and that the home environment is “bad”. Li added that the judge had offered her S$ 15, 000 loan without a Singaporean trustee.

She was informed that she could seek legitimate counsel through the Criminal Legal Aid Program.

Her situation was adjourned for a pre-trial conference in September.

A death sentence of up to two years, a great, or both are possible punishments for careless conduct.
