Elderly woman dies after accident with lorry in Toa Payoh; driver nabbed for suspected drug offences

A 73-year-old woman died after colliding with a lorry in Toa Payoh, Singapore, on July 7. The 34-year-old male driver was arrested for dangerous driving causing death and suspected drug-related offenses after drug paraphernalia and duty-unpaid cigarettes were found in his truck. Emergency services responded to the accident around 10:15 am, and the victim was taken to hospital but later pronounced dead. The case highlights rising road fatalities in Singapore, with traffic deaths reaching a 10-year high in 2025. The incident adds to reports of drug involvement in traffic accidents, including a similar case in Punggol earlier this year.
