SINGAPORE - In a horrific accident last Saturday, a speeding Ferrari slammed into a ComfortDelGro taxi leaving three dead and two injured. The driver of the limited edition $1.3 million Ferrari 599 GTO was killed on the spot while his female passenger sustained head injuries and is recovering in hospital.
Mr Ma Chi, a Chinese buisnessman, had just returned to Singapore after a business trip and had taken his supercar out for a spin at 3am on Saturday morning. Video footage showed Mr Ma beating a red light at the junction of Victoria Street and Rochor Road.
He slammed into the taxi which was moving off when the lights turned green in its favour. The taxi driver, 52-year-old Mr Cheng Teck Hock suffered head injuries and died on Sunday. He leaves behind his wife and three children.
Mr Cheng was ferrying Ms Shigemi Ito, a Japanese woman who was working in Singapore. The woman in her forties was found unconcscious and later died at the Singapore General Hospital.
The crash has sparked a debate on regulating supercars as netizens call for harsher restrictions on the high performance vehicles in congested Singapore while chairman of the Public Transport Council has pointed out that fast cars are not to blame but reckless drivers.
