I’m the spouse of the victim involved in the accident on 3rd March 2016 @7.10am along Hougang Ave 8/2.
My husband left behind with 2 kids age 7yo and 18months. I would really appreciate if someone who was driving on that morning witness the whole incident. Please come forward and explain the whole accident to the Traffic Police.
If your car are equipped with the recorder, please help to submit the video clip to the TP.
Your kind gesture would really be a great impact on my family and children. Thank you very much
