A taxi driver which was involved in the accident that killed a 19 year old who was a NUS undergraduate was accorded 65 percent liability for his negligence in the case.
The driver of the other car who was going straight and speeding before crashing in the cabby who made a discretionary right turn was given the remaining 35 percent liability.
Mr Ting Jun Heng, 24, sued 56-year-old taxi driver Yap Kok Hua and 23-year-old driver Ng Li Ning in a case that came to court in June, over a crash in April 2018. He was flung him out of the cab and suffered multiple injuries.Â
Mr Ting was initially in a vegetative state, but recovered and sustained fractured ribs, a kidney laceration and multiple pelvic bone fractures. He suffered medical complications, had his studies deferred and now walks with a slight limp.
Ng will return to the State Courts on Oct 9 for a pre-trial conference for his criminal charge, and is accused of driving dangerously above the speed limit.
