In September, 20-year-old Ong Kwan Yun, a student, pleaded guilty to causing grievous hurt by a negligent act and riding a PMD which did not comply with regulations for the device under the Active Mobility Act.
The device weighed nearly 30kg - exceeding the legal limit of 20kg - when Ong rode it along a sheltered walkway in Boon Lay Avenue at around 1pm on March 23.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Zhi Hao said Ong was moving at a speed which caused him to lose control of his device.
DPP Tan said: "The force of the collision caused the victim to fly off the ground and land on her back, with the back of her head hitting the ground first. The victim lost consciousness momentarily." The Straits Times is not naming the victim, who suffered memory loss and developed a speech impediment following the incident.
