Singapore — A teenage couple died in a motorcycle crash at Jurong West on July 16, 2021, and the state coroner said on Jan 7 that the young man who drove the motorcycle had no licence to ride the vehicle and had borrowed it from someone else, who had in turn only rented the vehicle.
“This tragic case serves as a timely reminder of the importance of obtaining the requisite driving licence before operating vehicles on the road,” the coroner added. The couple worked at a warehouse in Jalan Buroh near Jurong Port Road and had been living with the mother of the teenage girl since April 2021.
The State Coroner said that a road traffic misadventure caused the deaths of the teenage pair, and added that even though police could not determine how fast Mr Tan was operating the motorcycle, there was no evidence that he was speeding.
