A man has been left distraught after learning that his mother was allegedly dragged 1.5km in a hit-and-run that ended on the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE).
"It's one thing to be involved in a car accident, but my mum was dragged so far after being hit," the man surnamed Huang told Shin Min Daily News.
"My mum was in a very bad state, she was trapped under the vehicle. She must've suffered a lot of pain and felt helpless."
The 77-year-old woman died following a hit-and-run accident along PIE towards Changi Airport on Friday (Oct 16) morning.
A minibus driver, 66, fled the scene but was later arrested for driving without due care and attention causing death.
According to Shin Min, the woman was hit by a minibus at the intersection of Jurong West Street 61 and Jurong West Avenue 4.
When Huang didn't see his mum at home that morning, he thought that she had left for work.
But when the police called to inform him that his mum had died in an accident on the PIE, Huang rushed down to the scene.
"She couldn't have run onto the expressway on her own," he said.
"After speaking with the police, I learnt that my mother was struck near our home and dragged all the way to the expressway."
As the only child, Huang shared that his family has been left heartbroken by the tragedy.
He also questioned how his mum had ended up trapped under the vehicle and why the driver did not stop driving after the accident.
The minibus driver has yet to contact Huang and his family. When asked if he'd forgive the driver, Huang said that he has mixed feelings.

一名男子得知自己的母亲在泛岛高速公路 (PIE) 上遭遇肇事逃逸事故，被拖行 1.5 公里后，悲痛欲绝。
“发生车祸是一回事，但我妈妈被撞后被拖行了那么远，”黄姓男子告诉《新明日报》。
“我妈妈当时情况很糟糕，她被困在车底下。她一定承受了巨大的痛苦，并且感到非常无助。”
10 月 16 日星期五上午，一名 77 岁的老妇在泛岛高速公路 (PIE) 通往樟宜机场方向的路段遭遇肇事逃逸事故后身亡。
一名66岁的小巴司机逃离了现场，但后来因疏忽驾驶导致他人死亡而被捕。
据《新明日报》报道，这名女子在裕廊西61街和裕廊西4道的交叉路口被一辆小巴撞倒。
那天早上，黄先生没在家见到妈妈，以为她去上班了。
但当警察打电话通知他母亲在PIE高速公路发生事故身亡时，黄立即赶往现场。
“她不可能独自跑到高速公路上，”他说。
“与警方交谈后，我得知我母亲是在家附近被撞的，然后被一路拖到了高速公路上。”
作为家中的独子，黄先生表示，这场悲剧让他的家人心碎不已。
他还质疑他的母亲为何会被困在车下，以及司机在事故发生后为何没有停车。
小巴司机至今仍未联系黄先生及其家人。当被问及是否会原谅司机时，黄先生表示心情复杂。
