THEY were crossing the road at a traffic junction in the early hours when her cousin dropped something.
Just as Miss Eden Mae Chan, 24, a fitness trainer, bent down to pick it up, a taxi crashed into her. The Filipina, who had arrived here to work at True Yoga just two weeks ago, is now in a coma at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
She is also on life support.
Her cousin, who was unhurt, is so traumatised by the accident that just the sound of a car sends her into hysterical shrieks.
She also can't bring herself to talk about the accident, which happened at the junction of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 and Avenue 3 at about 2.15am on Friday.
A family friend said the accident was captured on CCTV. The footage showed that the taxi driver slowed down only after hitting her.
