Wife dead, husband hurt
By Mavis Toh

Mrs Helen Wee and her husband Peter were on their way to church when the accident occurred. The driver has been arrested for drink-driving.

IT HAD been a weekly routine for the last 40 years. At dawn every Sunday, Mrs Helen Wee would take a 15-minute walk with her husband Peter to morning mass at the Church of the Holy Spirit along Upper Thomson Road. But last Sunday morning, the couple, both 76, never made it to mass. The pair, who have been married for 44 years, were about 20m away from their destination when a driver ploughed his car into them at 6.50am. The impact from behind killed Mrs Wee instantly. Mr Wee was flung to the middle of the three-lane road and knocked unconscious.
