PREPARATIONS for a wedding ended in three deaths, with a fourth young man fighting for his life in hospital. All four were in a rental car on their way to get decorations to turn the Hyundai Avante they were in into a wedding car when it crashed along Dunearn Road, near Chancery Court, at 2.20 am on Sunday. The impact of the crash threw all four out of the car. The sole survivor, Mr Mohammad Alif Mohamed Shah, 19, was fighting for his life on Sunday night, as his family members kept vigil at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Two of them, Mr Mohammad Khalil Mohamad Shah, 23, elder brother of Mr Mohammad Alif, and Mr Sunthereswaran Nadesan Mariyappan, 23, died on the spot. The third casualty, Mr Jaya Kumar Asokan, 27, a bus driver, who was also admitted to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, died of severe injuries within 12 hours of the accident. He was believed to have been the driver of the silver Hyundai Avante, a 1.6-litre car. The four were on their way to Mustafa Centre in Little India.

1. Just after a cross junction by Chancery Court on Dunearn Road, the car skidded across the 3-lane road
2. Tread marks at the scene suggested the car slammed into the opposite kerb, smashing it into pieces
3. Next the car slammed into a tree - the tree trunk appeared skinned off up to about 2m, indicating the car might have been airborne at the time
4. The Hyundai stopped inside the bushes beside the canal. All 4 men had been flung out of the car. 2 were killed on the spot. A 3rd man died less than 12 hrs later
