Goh Jared-Kane was jailed for four months and banned from driving for three years after driving up to 221km/h during a dangerous joyride with five others.

The group caused collisions along Stamford Road, damaging property and leaving Goh and his passenger with injuries.

The court rejected claims that Goh was a victim, highlighting his deliberate and sustained reckless driving and imposing a jail term to reflect the severity.

SINGAPORE – The fifth driver in a group of six whose midnight high-speed joyride on the CTE led to a crash along Stamford Road has been sentenced to four months’ jail.

On Oct 6, Goh Jared-Kane, 26, was also handed a three-year driving disqualification . He had earlier pleaded guilty to a charge of dangerous driving.

Goh and the five other drivers were involved in a major road traffic accident involving two collisions in the early hours of Oct 27, 2024. Four of them had been dealt with in June and July.

Assistant Public Prosecutor Chye Jer Yuan said the group of six had met up at a carpark in Stadium Boulevard at around 1am before their joyride to the downtown area.

Apart from Goh, the other drivers were Marcus Lau Yong Wei, Damien Chia Hwa Chuan, Sherman Quah Kok Rong, Lee Jun En Gilviz, and Kong Jia Quan, who are in their 20s and 30s.

Goh had a woman, 22, in his front passenger seat at the time of his offence .

He drove as fast as 221kmh along the CTE, more than double the 90kmh speed limit, as the six of them trailed each other at high speeds along the PIE, CTE, Orchard Road, Bras Basah Road and Raffles Boulevard.

When Goh was driving along Stamford Road towards Fort Canning Link, Kong and Lee were following closely behind in two separate cars.

As Goh approached another vehicle which was making a right turn into Queen Street from Stamford Road, he hit his brakes hard to avoid collision.

This caused Kong to rear-end Goh. Lee then swerved sharply to the right, mounted the adjacent grass verge and overturned his vehicle.

As a result, the roadside vegetation, a road sign and traffic light signal were damaged.

Meanwhile, Lau and Chia were approaching the accident site at high speeds. As debris from the first collision flew across from the far right lane, Lau applied his brakes, causing Chia to ram into his car.

Quah, Goh and Kong, who did not stop at the accident site, then drove off to a nearby building.

Goh and his passenger were treated at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital for injuries including neck sprain and headache. They were each given three days of medical leave.

Seeking for Goh a sentence of 3½ to five months’ jail and a driving disqualification of between three and four years , the prosecutor said Goh demonstrated a wholesale disregard for traffic rules throughout the course of the incident.

“Across multiple locations, he drove at speeds approaching or exceeding double the stipulated speed limits, showing a persistent and deliberate flouting of the law rather than a momentary lapse,” added the prosecutor.

In mitigation, defence lawyer Foo Cheow Ming sought a fine for his client. He argued that if a jail term were to be imposed instead, Goh should receive the shortest sentence among all the drivers involved.

“He harmed no other person except arguably himself and his passenger, and he is foremost a victim of his own misadventure,” said Foo.

District Judge Cheng Yuxi disagreed with Foo characterising Goh as a victim.

“He blatantly disregarded the speed limits of the roads,” said the judge, noting that Goh’s dangerous driving behaviour was deliberate and sustained.

The first driver in the group to be dealt with was Lau, who was sentenced to four months’ jail on June 26.

Chia and Quah were sentenced to four months and two weeks’ jail, and two months and three weeks’ jail respectively on June 29.

Lee was sentenced to four months’ jail on July 13.

All four men were also each handed a three-year driving ban.

Kong’s case is still pending before the courts.

For dangerous driving, an offender can be fined up to $5,000, jailed for up to a year, or both.

吴嘉瑞-凯恩 (Goh Jared-Kane) 与另外五人一起危险飙车，车速高达 221 公里/小时，被判入狱四个月，并被禁止驾驶三年。

该团伙在斯坦福路制造了多起交通事故，造成财产损失，并导致吴先生及其乘客受伤。

法庭驳回了吴某是受害者的说法，强调他蓄意且持续的鲁莽驾驶行为，并判处监禁以体现其罪行的严重性。

新加坡——六名司机午夜在中央高速公路 (CTE) 上飙车，导致斯坦福路发生车祸，其中第五名司机被判处四个月监禁。

10月6日，26岁的吴嘉瑞-凯恩（Goh Jared-Kane）也被判处三年吊销驾照。此前他已承认危险驾驶的指控。

2024年10月27日凌晨，吴先生和其他五名司机卷入了一起重大交通事故，涉及两起碰撞。其中四起事故已于6月和7月处理完毕。

助理检察官蔡哲源表示，这六人于凌晨1点左右在体育场大道的一个停车场碰面，然后驾车前往市中心兜风。

除了吴之外，其他车手还有刘永伟、谢华泉、柯国荣、李俊恩、孔嘉泉，他们都在20多岁到30多岁之间。

案发时，吴先生车的前排乘客座位上坐着一名 22 岁的女子。

他沿着中央高速公路 (CTE) 以高达 221 公里/小时的速度行驶，是 90 公里/小时限速的两倍多，他们六人沿着泛岛高速公路 (PIE)、中央高速公路 (CTE)、乌节路、勿拉士峇沙路和莱佛士大道高速行驶，彼此追逐。

当吴先生驾车沿斯坦福路驶向福康宁路时，孔先生和李先生分别驾驶两辆车紧随其后。

当吴先生接近另一辆正从斯坦福路右转进入皇后街的车辆时，他猛踩刹车以避免碰撞。

这导致孔的车追尾了吴的车。李随后猛地向右急转，冲上旁边的草坪，翻车了。

结果，路边植被、路标和交通信号灯遭到损坏。

与此同时，刘和谢正高速驶向事故现场。当第一次碰撞产生的碎片从最右侧车道飞过时，刘紧急刹车，导致谢的车撞上了他的车。

Quah、Goh 和 Kong 没有在事故现场停留，而是开车前往附近的一栋建筑物。

吴先生及其乘客在伊丽莎白诺维娜医院接受治疗，伤情包括颈部扭伤和头痛。他们各自获准休三天病假。

检察官要求判处吴某 3 个半月至 5 个月的监禁，并吊销其驾驶执照 3 至 4 年。检察官表示，吴某在整个事件过程中完全无视交通规则。

检察官补充说：“他在多个地点以接近或超过规定限速两倍的速度行驶，这表明他是持续且蓄意地藐视法律，而不是一时疏忽。”

辩护律师傅秋明为当事人吴某求情，请求法官判处罚款。他辩称，如果判处监禁，吴某应在所有涉案司机中刑期最短。

“除了他自己和他的乘客之外，他没有伤害其他人，他首先是自己不幸遭遇的受害者，”Foo说道。

地方法官程玉玺不同意傅先生将吴女士描述为受害者的说法。

“他公然无视道路限速规定，”法官说，并指出吴的危险驾驶行为是故意且持续的。

该团伙中第一个被处理的司机是刘某，他于 6 月 26 日被判处四个月监禁。

6月29日，Chia和Quah分别被判处四个月零两周和两个月零三周的监禁。

7月13日，李被判处四个月监禁。

这四名男子还分别被吊销驾照三年。

孔某的案件仍在法院审理中。

危险驾驶者可被处以最高 5000 美元的罚款、最高一年的监禁，或两者并罚。
