A FINAL-YEAR manufacturing engineering student from Nanyang Polytechnic died after his motorcycle skidded and crashed along Seletar Expressway on Tuesday morning at about 2.10am.
Toh Boon Keong, 19, was on his way home after dropping his girlfriend at her place in Aljunied.
He was travelling along Seletar Expressway when his motorcycle skidded and hit the central divider before landing on the centre lane.
Mr Toh sustained serious head and body injuries and was rushed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3.20am.
The last time his mother, Madam Yee Lee Cher spoke to him was on Monday night at 8pm. She had asked him if he would be turning up for a family dinner.
But Mr Toh, who worked as a part-time cinema service crew member said he could not make it as he ended work only at 10 pm.
Madam Yee, 50, remembers her youngest of three children as a lively and filial child.
'He said he would take care of me when I am old, but now he has left me behind,' she said in tears.
