SINGAPORE - A driver had hit a female cyclist along Mandai Road towards Yishun Avenue 1 on Tuesday night, before allegedly driving off.

Ms Lim, whose sister was an eye witness, wrote in to citizen journalism website Stomp to share her account of the incident. She said that her sister had witnessed a driver in blue camouflage uniform hitting a female cyclist and driving off without stopping.

When her sister caught up with the driver in a black Honda Accord to confront him, he denied that he had hit anyone, despite the fact that his windscreen had been smashed on the left side.

Another driver at the scene of the collision said that the man had already been driving unsteadily along the BKE before the Mandai Road exit, prompting him to flash his headlights at him at the time.

Police confirmed that there was an accident at 9.55pm, and said that the victim had been sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

Ms Lim said that the cyclist is now in ICU due to a spinal injury and a blood clot in the brain.

The daughter of the cyclist had called to ask for information and shared this with Ms Lim.

Police investigations are on-going.

Ms Lim told Stomp:

"This incident happened last night (Apr 9), along Mandai Road.

"A black Honda Accord hit a female cyclist and drove off without stopping.

"My sister was driving behind the car and saw the whole incident. She went after the guy in her own car.

"When he pulled over, he claimed that he did not hit anyone even though the left side of his windscreen was smashed.

"My sister told him to go back to the accident scene, but he simply drove off again.

"The poor female cyclist's daughter called for information just now. She is now in ICU due to a spinal injury and a blood clot in the brain.

"God bless the cyclist who got hit. May the driver be caught and severely punished."
