A man who killed a Gojek driver and injured six others while driving a Mercedes-Benz drunk was sentenced to seven years’ jail on Friday.
At one point, he was driving at between 157kmh and 169kmh even though the speed limit there was 60kmh.
On Dec 23, 2021, Jeremiah Ng En You, 35, was driving his twin brother’s car in Tampines when he ploughed into several vehicles that had stopped at a red light.
Ng had 42 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The prescribed limit is 35 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.
He had pleaded guilty in May to one count of drink driving and another for causing the 59-year-old Gojek driver’s death by driving in a dangerous manner.
Three other charges were taken into consideration during his sentencing, on Friday.
Ng will also be disqualified from driving for 12 years after his release.
Six people were injured in the accident that involved three other cars, a taxi and a motorcycle.
Before sentencing him, District Judge Salina Ishak said this was a tragic and horrific case and agreed with the prosecution the accident was one of the worst in recent memory.
