52-year-old Wong Kim Punn was found guilty on 9 February of knocking down an 85-year-old pedestrian with his Maserati and failing to stop on 9 July 2020.
The victim suffered multiple fractures and was wheelchair-bound for more than 2 months as a result.
However, the hit-and-run accident was not his first offence; In December 2019 Wong had previously hit a cyclist at the cross-junction of Ophir Road and Victoria Street.
His latest offence took place on 9 July 2020 at about 11pm when he was driving along East Coast Road.
He was seen in footage obtained by the prosecution driving when he hit the 85-year-old victim Mr Foo Kok Kam, who was crossing the road slowly at the time.
The impact was so great that the victim was flung into the air.
Following the collision, Wong slowed down his car for a bit before driving off from the scene without stopping and rendering assistance to the victim.
A witness who saw the accident lodged a police report about a blue Maserati knocking down an elderly pedestrian and Wong’s car was later seized.
The vehicle and the victim’s shorts were then sent to the Health Sciences Authority, where it was found that some of the materials found on the victim’s shorts possibly came from the bonnet and right fender of the vehicle.
Wong was then convicted of several traffic offences, which included careless driving causing grievous hurt, failing to stop after an accident and render aid.
His sentencing has been adjourned to March.
