The truth behind the accident

I was just given the okay sign to be able to account THE TRUTH behind Aynee's car crash. I personally think that Aynee's friends are owed an explanation regarding what really happened. There are many speculations regarding the crash but none of them are true. According to Nat (Aynee's friend) she has been receiving questions about what really happened so in courtesy, I would like to relate the truth.

Friday night, as usual, Aynee phoned me at home (I was in L.A.) and she told me about the day's plans. Remembering the conversation now, I just wish to turn back time. If I had only known it was the last time I was ever going to hear her voice I should have just said everything to her. She told me she was to go to visit her friend Kenneth who was sick, then attend her ballet recitals, and finally give the presnets she brought from England to her ex-boyfriend (the family refuse to acknowledge or mention anymore, who if I may say, is too arrogant to even visit Aynee's wake neither to acknowledge that he knows Aynee let alone admit she was his girlfriend; he doesn't have a heart.).

After we hang-up, I remember the last words she ever told me was: "Oi you take care. Godnight, I love you" and that was it. I would never hear from her again and it just rips me like hell. According to Kenneth, Aynee went to his house at round 10 am, had lunch there and then went to her ballet class. At around 2 pm, she met up with Mark and Lin to go to Mark's friend's party. At around 6 she left, according to Lin, to go to her ex-boyfriend's house. Mark fetched her around 8pm with Lin.

The accident happened at Kranji Expressway around 8:20 pm. Mark was driving, Aynee was in front, and Lin was sleeping at the back. It's not true that Mark was drunk; Aynee and Lin we're the ones who had a drink. Lin is currently suffering from memory lapses, caused by the accident so she could only tell what she remembers.

She said that she woke up due to a loud bang which was coming from the rear of the car, and suddenly they were spinning fast and there was a loud screech of the brakes. And then she said she doesn't remember anything.

Mark is currently in a very critical condition at Raffles and in a coma. we are hoping for thebest though we are bracing ourselves for the worse. This accident has taken one life too many, we cannot afford another one.

According to the investigation, the accident happened at 8:23 pm. The rear tire in the driver side burst without warning sending the car spinning. If you could imagine the force that caused the car to spin, you would have a clear view of how serious the damage done to Aynee. The car spun 3 times, twice hitting with serious force, aynee's side of the car. The first spin was the most serious, according to the investigation, and it caused a lot of damage. The spin caused Aynee to hit the barriers directly, which probably caused the most serious damage. The second spin, the back portion hit the rear of the car, fortunately, just missing out on Lin. The finally spin was again on my sister's side, towards the front of the car.

I would like to thank so much the people who were at the scene that time, who called the ambulance. What happened was, though I mean not to blame anyone, the first ambulance focused on rescuing Mark from the wreckage first, thinking that he was the one most severely hurt. NO ONE THOUGHT OF HOW SERIOUS AYNEE'S INJURIES WERE. This is a very serious mistake that caused Aynee's vital signs to fail, though she was given oxygen. Finally the second ambulance arrived, and they freed Aynee and Lin.

It took more than an hour to get them properly to Westpoint Family Hospital, which was nearest. According to the nurse on the ambulance, AYNEE WAS STILL ALIVE. I THINK WE DESERVE A PROPER EXPLANATION FROM THE ATTENDING DOCTORS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED THERE. I did not know what they did, but after half an hour they told my parents that Aynee died on the table. They transfered her immediately to Raffles hospital for revival but they tried for two hours to no avail.

Nee was pronounced dead on 11: 53 pm, September 15, 1007. She died of severe head injuries with multiple skull fracture. She also suffered from Internal bleeding and and broken ribs.

I never saw what happened, I never knew anything. When my mom called, she was sobbing and delivered the news of the accident. I knew how serious it was, but I never thought of losing her. I flew the very next flight I can home, all the while praying to God, just please don't take her away, let her be in a coma or anything, just don't take her away from me. BUT GOD STILL DID.

I cannot write anymore. Recounting the very reason that took my sister's life is unbearable. Although we suffer pain and loss, we believe Aynee's death cannot lead to nothing. I found Aynee's pre-death donor card, and she indicated she wanted to be a cornea donor. Her corneas are currently under the hospital's care, bound to give sight to at least one person. This I hope will be her legacy.

HER WAKE IS AT OUR FAMILY HOUSE IN JURONG AND THE FUNERAL WILL BE ON TUESDAY. We only have one week more till we send her to God, I wish that time will never come.

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO TAGGED, I'M SURE AYNEE IS SMILING OVER YOU THANKING YOU FOR THE LOVE YOU PROVIDED HER.
