Two pedestrians died from their injuries and four other were left injured after a car crashed through a railing at Lucky Plaza shopping centre on Sunday (29 Dec) afternoon.
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said in a press statement that officers were deployed after being alerted to the incident along Orchard Road at about 5pm.
The accident involves a car and six female pedestrians aged between 29 to 43.
As seen in photos and videos circulating on social media, three female pedestrians are seen lying on the floor beside the car that crashed through the railing and one was caught under the car.
Two of the pedestrians, aged 29 and 35, were unconscious when taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. They later died from their injuries.
Four pedestrians, aged 30 to 43, were conscious when they were sent to the hospital.
“A 64-year-old male driver was arrested for dangerous driving causing death,” said police, adding that investigations were ongoing.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they received a call for assistance at 304 Orchard Road at about 5pm and dispatched five ambulances.

杨莉明立志助失业者回岗位 首先她得正视职场歧视问题

人力部长杨莉明,周三(20日)在脸书上重申,政府的首要任务是保住国人饭碗,帮助失业新加坡人回到工作岗位上。 她表示,“为了实现目标,我们正协助雇主,提供他们强而有力的支持,让他们发展成为新加坡的中流砥柱。” 与此同时,她也呼吁,雇主在接受政府的援助时必须发挥其作用,确保公平雇佣。该建议也获得新加坡工商联合总会、四个商会与商团的响应,并表示将会“循序渐进”实施方案,确保达到公平聘雇原则。 有改善意愿 惟歧视聘雇从未停止 理想虽然很丰满,但现实却也很“骨感”,对新加坡人而言,职场上歧视聘雇却未曾停止过。 举个例子,去年10月,《海峡时报》发表一篇专题,探讨究竟劳资政三方公平与良好雇佣联盟(TAFEP)如何处理一些雇主的不公平雇佣情况,其中一例就出现“内定”的情况。 据报道指出,一家金融保险公司被该公司的人事经理曝出,在招聘前就预选了一名外国人士到本地公司担任管理职务。 然而,经调查后发现,该公司依旧按照公平考量框架规定,在全国职业库(Jobs Bank)刊登了14天的招聘广告,但是在招聘广告“到期”之前,就已和“内定”的外国籍人士人选,签订雇佣合约。 值得关注是,”内定“人才是该公司位于伦敦办公室的英国籍人士,且他的工作经验和学历,根本不符合广告上所列明的需求! 进一步调查后发现,招聘广告获得了超过60份申请,其中有28人士都符合资格,却未有任何申请人士被邀请面试。…
