She is hoping to get back into shape for her wedding in three weeks.

For now, the woman, known only as Miss Lim, is sitting in Tan Tock Seng Hospital with a skull fracture and other head injuries after an accident on New Year's Day.

At 5.30pm that day, in broad daylight, a car reversed into her from the main road as its driver attempted to park, throwing her into the vehicle's rear windscreen.

A witness told citizen journalism website Stomp that the impact was so great the whole rear windscreen was smashed.


"While some witnesses tried to take photos of the car plate, the owner of the car kept blocking them to prevent them from taking the photos," the witness said.

The accountant told Shin Min Daily News yesterday that her wedding could not be postponed.

She just had to get out of hospital for the ceremony, she said.

That evening, Miss Lim had gone with her groom-to-be to an eatery near Farrer Park MRT station, when she realised she had forgotten to take something with her and so she went back home, which was nearby.

As she was walking to her block, the car attempted to reverse into a parking lot.

That is when the accident happened.
