The road deaths of young squash player Ian Mekdeci and former racer Colin Ming have spurred the Mothers in Black organisation to hold a candlelight vigil on Sunday, July 10, 2022, as it looks to renew its road safety efforts.
Mekdeci, 27, was killed by an alleged drunk driver who breach-ed a red light, and slammed into a car in which he was travelling on May 1 this year. Meanwhile Ming, the brother of businessman Stanley Ming, died a day after he was involved in a collision with an ambulance on April 1, 2021.
