Two Singaporean drivers are facing serious criminal charges following a fatal high-speed incident on the Central Expressway that resulted in the death of a motorcyclist. Cassidy Tan Ting Hwee, aged 33, and Rayson Loo Sian Hao, aged 35, were formally charged on October 28th with culpable homicide not amounting to murder for their alleged roles in the tragic January 2024 accident.

According to court documents presented during the hearing, the two drivers engaged in extremely dangerous driving behavior along the CTE, with investigations revealing they repeatedly overtook each other at speeds far exceeding the legal limit. Court evidence indicates that Tan allegedly reached speeds of up to 192 kilometers per hour, while Loo drove at approximately 170 kilometers per hour, both significantly surpassing the 90 km/h speed limit designated for that section of the expressway.

The fatal sequence of events occurred in the early hours of January 14th, 2024, when police were alerted to a serious traffic accident involving two cars and a motorcycle. The collision proved fatal for the 31-year-old male motorcyclist, who was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency responders.

The prosecution alleges that Tan dangerously swerved from lane four to lane two of the expressway, resulting in a collision with the motorcyclist. The impact caused the motorcyclist to be thrown from his vehicle onto the roadway, where he was subsequently run over by Loo’s vehicle, leading to his tragic death. Both drivers are accused of operating their vehicles in a manner they knew was likely to cause death.

Following the incident, both Tan and Loo were promptly arrested by authorities, and their driving licenses were immediately suspended pending the outcome of legal proceedings. The cases against both defendants have been scheduled for further hearing on December 2nd as the judicial process continues.

In a separate but related development on the same day, a third driver faced similar charges in connection with a different fatal accident. Tan Yong Ren, 35, was charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder for an incident that occurred on December 19th, 2023, along Nicoll Highway toward Guillemard Road. The prosecution alleges that Tan Yong Ren was driving under the influence of alcohol, traveling against the flow of traffic when he collided with a cyclist at approximately 5:00 AM. He then allegedly fled the scene without rendering assistance to the injured cyclist.

Authorities identified and arrested Tan Yong Ren within sixteen hours of the hit-and-run incident, and his driving privileges were similarly suspended. The police noted that the charges against him were upgraded from dangerous driving causing death to the more serious culpable homicide not amounting to murder following a comprehensive case review. His case is scheduled for a pre-trial conference on November 24th.

Singapore police emphasized their serious stance toward dangerous driving behaviors, stating that such “irresponsible acts can have devastating and fatal consequences.” They further warned that motorists who engage in “egregious conduct will be held accountable for the consequences of their actions and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
