The 37-year-old female driver of one of the cars was arrested for drink driving and will be investigated for the offence of careless driving causing death under the influence of drink.
The police said they were alerted to the accident involving three cars and two people, who were seated outside a bar in Amoy Street towards Cross Street, at about 12.45am on Oct 17.

In photos posted on the SGRV Front Man Facebook page on Oct 17, a grey car appears to have crashed into the side of a building believed to be Far East Square.
The hoarding of the building where the car crashed shows the upcoming opening of music restaurant bar Hutaoli in the third quarter of 2026.
Another grey car and a blue car can also be seen in the photos.
