一位53歲的洪姓母親，在路邊被一名騎電動滑板車（e-scooter）的17歲青年撞翻，在送院過程中就陷入昏迷，至今沒有醒來。讓他的家人，丈夫和一子一女更不能接受的是—-雖然已經動了兩次大手術，她的病情每況愈下，瀕臨生命垂危。他們甚至已經接受醫生的勸告，做了她會離世的最壞打算。
▲e-scooter：怪我咯？！
悲劇發生在上個星期六（17日）的上午10點左右，家住新加坡東部的洪女士像往常一樣，騎腳車去采買雜貨。家人無論如何都想象不到，那是最後一次見到清醒狀態下正常的她。因爲他們後來被警察告知—-她在巴西立1通道附近（因爲她的自行車是在那裏被發現的），被一輛e-scooter撞倒了，而當時她並沒有騎在車上。
至于被撞的確切地址，以及被撞過程，家屬都不甚了了。警察只能證實，是因爲魯莽行動導致了嚴重的傷害，現正調查中。洪女士的22歲兒子，就抱著一線希望在網頁上求助，希望能找到事件的目擊證人。

在不少網友的大力轉發求助推文下，就有一名女子提供了有用的信息：當時看到有五個年輕人在照料洪女士，相信e-scooter就是屬于他們的。

可惜的是，雖然洪女士在被撞倒的時候還是有意識的，在救護車送她去附近的樟宜綜合醫院急救的時候，她陷入了昏迷。在接連做了兩個大手術—-第一個手術，是爲取出她凝固在後腦的血塊；緊接著，又做了次排除腦積水的手術—-後，不但情況沒有改善，反而惡化了。
醫生告訴他們，洪女士因爲缺氧而多處腦中風，恐怕回天乏術。接下來，就得家屬做出決定，是否要撤去她的生命支持器械。這真是個兩難的抉擇，無奈並且傷感。他們說：如果真到了那一步的話，我們不忍看著她更受罪，想讓其平安地走。
讓洪女士的家人不能釋懷的是：雖然年輕人叫了救護車，而騎士也被捕了，但他們不能接受的是：並沒有接到來自年輕人的任何問候，也不曉得怎麽聯絡他們。
至于事故的索賠問題，照律師說來，要從涉及到個人通勤工具如e-scooter、e-skaters和hoverboards的事故中索取賠償，可能非常困難。雖然有明文規定，這些工具並不被允許在人行道、馬路和公園連道上使用，只可在私人産業裏使用。
預計現行個人通勤工具使用條例，在年底會有所修改。至于洪女士的不幸遭遇，則廣泛激發了網友的同情心，紛紛在網頁上爲她兒子打氣。

Update on 20/9/16, 8.15am. Police investigations have started. My mum’s bicycle is found at Block 541.
As many have suggested, I think the police will be following down the line of checking CCTV, the ambulance phone call. We’ll leave the further investigations to the police.
It’s thanks to your little gesture of sharing on Facebook that reached out to witnesses and news agencies. I’ve shared all the information I’ve been provided by people who messaged me personally, to the police. It’s really amazing how information can flow so fast on Social Media. I’m deeply thankful.
I’ve provided a picture of my mum and a picture of the bus stop at Block 541. Hopefully, more witnesses and the people who helped my mum during the accident step forward to assist in police investigations.

On 17 September 2016 at about 10-11am, my mum got hit by a person riding an E Scooter/Bike at either Pasir Ris Block 541 or Pasir Ris Drive 6. This is the report provided by the ambulance. The details of what happened are not clear. My mum was most probably riding a red bicycle but we do not know where her bicycle is right now.
The culprit called an ambulance and sent my mum to CGH but disappeared without leaving his contact behind as stated by the doctor.
As of now, my mum has been through a 6-hour long operation on Saturday 17/9 to remove the blood clot at the back of the head. On Sunday 18/9, her condition turned for the worse as fluid started to build up in her head, resulting in a swell that presses onto the brain. This resulted is her brain’s blood pressure being dangerously low too. After considering the recommendations by the neurosurgeon, there was not much time to lose. She had to undergo another operation to drain the fluids by inserting an artificial tube into her brain cavity. She is still in ICU now. Her condition is stabilized for now, but there is no certainty as to what might happen next.
If you know anything about the accident or seen a random red mountain bicycle that is unlocked or damaged around the Pasir Ris neighbourhood, please contact me at 94898253 or Facebook message me.
Or, if you know of anybody who owns an E-Scooter/Bike that might be the culprit, please tell him/her to drop his/her cowardly act and be responsible for the situation and my mother. Not just for my mother but for everyone else who is sharing the same road as you as you ride your E-Scooter/Bike!
My family and I would appreciate any information no matter how small it is.
Lastly, please help me to share this post and spread the message. Thank you very much!!
