POLICE are looking for a driver who ran over a fallen motorcyclist and sped off.

The hit-and-run accident took place on Saturday night along the Seletar Expressway.

Mr Heng Chang Yeow, 51, was on his way home when his motorcycle skidded along Seletar Expressway, going towards Tampines Expressway.

He was flung onto the right lane and was run over by a passing car which did not stop, said police.

The assistant engineer with Sigma Elevator Singapore suffered injuries to his head, face and chest and was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, where he remained in a coma for two days.

He died on Monday at 7.10 am.

Speaking to reporters at the funeral wake at Sin Ming Drive, his wife appealed to the driver to come forward to pay his respects at the funeral wake.
