Japanese woman killed in Rochor 3-death crash was living and working here

The Japanese taxi passenger involved in the Rochor crash that involved a Ferrari, a taxi and a motorcycle early on Saturday, May 11, has been identified.

She is Ms Shigemi Ito, believed to be in her 20s and was living and working in Singapore. She had succumbed to her injuries and died at the Singapore General Hospital on Saturday, May 12, the same day the crash happened.

According to a report in The Straits Times, staff from the Japanese Embassy here had been in contact with her parents and helped the family collect her body from the hospital on Monday.

Her parents and brother were seen at a funeral parlour in Sin Ming Drive on Monday where the wake was being held. A man who identified himself as Mr Thio was also seen at the wake.

A man by the name of T.C. Thio had also apparently sent SMSes to Ms Ito's friends informing them of the wake.

Ferrari driver Ma Chi, 31, a private investor from Sichuan, was pronounced dead at the scene. Cabby Cheng Teck Hock, 52, died on Sunday around 7pm at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

Motorcyclist Mr Muhammad Najib Ghazali, 26, was admitted to hospital with a spinal injury while the mystery female Ferrari passenger in her 20s was admitted to the hospital with a head injury.

Video footage of the accident has since emerged, which shows the Ferrari driver had sped through the red light. It also shows that at least eight lucky people around the crash site escaped by just seconds.

The accident area, a notorious 'black spot', has seen seven accidents in the past two weeks.

Police investigations are ongoing, and they request that eye-witnesses to the accident call its hotline at 1800-5471818.

法拉利跑车上的女乘客吴薇薇(21岁,音译)则右腿骨折。
目前都还在陈笃生医院接受治疗。

吴薇薇在酒廊工作。据了解,她也是东亚管理学院的学生,来自中国武汉。

这起恐怖车祸除了夺走三条人命,马驰的堂妹在网上捍卫自己的堂哥,并谴责那些仇富心理。

May God have mercy with her soul. I'm sure she's with Father God now, in a happier and painless haven.

coltonacer,

In injury cases, the insurance company is obliged to pay the victims first. It will later recover the money from Ma Chi's estate.
