Mr Saroor Noruden, 20, who works at a prata shop opposite the accident site, said he saw a man cradling the child in his arms and crying.
“I saw him holding the child and the woman just lying there,” he recounted. It looked like the woman had passed out The girl suffered lower limb fractures, while the boy sustained an open fracture on his leg, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said.

Gosh..seriously? People who drink should know better to drive -.-
Such irresponsible behavior leads to this type of accidents and affects innocent bystanders like the poor girl and boy.
Wish the penalty will be increased to deter such behaviour, but luckily in this case, there were no unfortunate losses. If not, it would be a huge tragedy.
