A Singaporean, his Korean girlfriend and both her parents were run over and killed on Friday morning in one of the most horrific accidents on the roads here in recent times.

The driver of the other car involved in the accident has been arrested for dangerous driving causing death, said the police. His licence has also been suspended with immediate effect.

Mr Amron Ayoub, 23, was on his way to the airport with his girlfriend of five years, Ms Jamie Song Jisoo, 24, and her parents and younger brother, when their car's tyre punctured on the Central Expressway before the Yio Chu Kang exit.

It is understood the Song family was on their way to catch a flight back to Korea.

They stopped on the road shoulder and got out of the car to check on the problem when a car ploughed into the young couple and her parents.

Ms Song's younger brother, also in his 20s, was standing some distance from them and was not hit.

The police said they received a call about the incident at 3.54am.

When they arrived, Ms Song, and her parents, Mr Song Jung Woo and Ms Kim Mee Kyung, were lying motionless on the road. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

Mr Amron was sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, where he succumbed to the multiple injuries he sustained.

The other driver, a 34-year-old man, said he had chest and head pain and was also sent to hospital.

The police are investigating the case.
