Condolences.
A second-year NTU undergraduate out on a cycling expedition died after being hit by a car.
This happened just a week after police announced the number of fatal road accidents in the first half of the year rose 22 per cent compared to the same period last year.
It was along Jalan Bahar near NTU where the accident happened on a Saturday afternoon.
23-year-old Alvin Ho and two other students were cycling back to the university from East Coast Park when he was hit by a car.
The impact of the collision flung him towards a bus stop and he died on the spot.
At his home on Sunday, Alvin's sister said she was too upset to speak.
Police have released the driver, a 31-year-old man, on a $10,000 bail.
He was believed to have been speeding towards the PIE at the time of accident and has been charged with performing a reckless act.
Reckless driving, police said, are the cause of most road accidents.
The driver in this instance was allegedly drunk when the accident happened.
If so, he has done so much to promote cycling in NTU...he actually wrote to SACA and offered to promote the Mountain Bike Championship in his school when there was no cycling club....even offered to meet up with me one early morning to collect posters from me...and eventually formed a team to support the race....really sorry to hear about this tragic incident.
On behalf of SACA, our condolences to his family, friends and relatives. May he rest in peace. -Merciless
never met Alvin personally, I should say I'm proud that he succeeded in something 3 'generations' of students in NTU failed to do. To get cycling recognised as a legitimate sport in NTU. Though not in a formal way, but at the very least he took the opportunity when he had it and shoved it in the faced of some very stubborn and archaic administrators. -Maxevv
If u guys confused this guy, successfully pushed for a cycling club in NTU.
Haizz... Deepest condolences.
Always admired pple who werent afraid to attempt great/near impossible things
Rest in peace.
