SINGAPORE: The man accused of injuring six women, when his car hurtled across Penang Road and ploughed into a bus stop on May 1, had his case adjourned yet again.

Lawyers representing Simon Wong Heng Chiang said the prosecution has asked the court for a postponement as they are still waiting for the release of the victims' medical reports.

Wong faces multiple charges of drink driving, driving dangerously and causing hurt through a negligent act.

He is out on a S$10,000 bail and his passport has been impounded.

The case will be mentioned in court on July 2.

In a separate case, 26-year-old Regan Lee Da Wen was on Monday charged with causing the death of his female passenger by driving dangerously.

The court heard that in October 2005, Lee lost control of a Mazda MX-5 during a test drive along Paya Lebar Road.

The car mounted a centre island, and crashed into another car, before flipping over and hitting a van.

The 22-year-old car salesperson, Angelia He Xueli, who was in the sports car, later died in hospital.

Lee, who is out on a S$10,000 bail, had his driving license suspended by the District Court in April.

His case on Monday was adjourned until 31 July, after his lawyers requested for more time to make representations to the Attorney General's Chambers.

Besides the criminal case, Lee could also face two civil suits, including one filed by Ms He's parents. - CNA/yy
