SINGAPORE — A cyclist who collided with a jaywalking elderly pedestrian, who ended up needing surgery and was given more than two months of medical leave, was fined $2,000 on Monday (April 17).

Khairul’Izzat Kamarozaman, 26, pleaded guilty to one charge of committing a negligent act so as to endanger a person’s life or personal safety.

As he cycled towards the victim, the latter started crossing the road from Khairul’Izzat’s right to his left. He realised that the victim could not stand and escorted him to Woodlands Polyclinic. He also gave the victim his contact details. She said she had considered the Khairul’Izzat’s low level of culpability, seeing that there was no evidence of him speeding as he approached the victim and that he had made attempts to avoid a collision.
