SINGAPORE: An 82-year-old woman who died after being hit by a taxi on an expressway had mild dementia and was likely to have forgotten where she was going, a coroner said in findings released this week.
Madam Janet Yong Fui Meng suddenly stepped onto the third lane of the East Coast Parkway (ECP) at around 9pm on Nov 19 last year.
