SINGAPORE - A lorry driver, who was sentenced to jail earlier this year over a collision with a cyclist, had his appeal against his conviction and sentence dismissed before the High Court on Monday .
While the cyclist was moving to the left side of the lane, he struck at the left side mirror of the lorry, breaking off parts of it. Teo went to trial over the two charges he was facing but was subsequently found by the trial judge to have deliberately swerved his lorry into the cyclist. Mr Tan also submitted that his client had swerved to the left to avoid a taxi which was behind the lorry.
The judge also agreed with DPP Choong that the second charge against Teo - failing to report the accident to the police within 24 hours - was made out.
