OzHonda member/S2K owner death

I was watching the 5pm news on channel 10 tonight when they published a story of a Honda S2000 smashed and wrapped around a pole. I am not speculating and am concerned for the well being of the family as they mentioned the sole occupant of the car died at the scene. He was driving a berlina black AP1 with gold wheels and red interior which was shown on the news. I am not saying for certain that it is him but I am thinking it is Brian who came along on the cruise to Marysville earlier in July.

The Age reports the following:

Police are investigating the cause of a crash at Heathmont, in Melbourne's east, about 7pm.

A Honda, thought to have been driven by a man in his 20s, left Canterbury Road and struck a pole, police said.

The man, the sole occupant of the car, died at the scene.

Major collisions police will prepare a report for the coroner.
The deaths take Victoria's annual road toll to 204, 18 more than at the same time last year.

If it is Brian I send my deepest condolences and sympathy to his family and girlfriend Judy. We shared words on the day and felt soo comfortable around them although we parted because we lost eachother in the large group.

You will be dearly missed and never forgotten by all of us.

why would u say RIP to someone when things are not 100% sure.. especially when you cant even confirm...

no matter who it was, its still sad to hear that a fellow s2k driver lost his life behind the wheel.

R.I.P

^ thats true man R.I.P

The fact still remains that a human being lost his life and regardless that I have not confirmed who it was I still think they deserve acknowledgment and respect

i saw that man that looked so bad. R.I.P

im not saying you should not pay respect to the passed

from my point of view it seems a bit of disrespectful saying the person is dead, when if hes not... i knw i did b pissed off if i found out some random is jinxing me when ever a car i drive crashes....

knew of him personally...
R.I.P to a great guy, with a huge personality to match...
..yes it is Brian....='[

i dont know him, but ill send my regards also, R.I.P =)

Well I sure hope I am wrong although I think you r not seeing the point of the fact that someone died. Regardless what u think of me speculating on who it was I still think it is respectable to pay respects whoever it was. Also, I don't believe in superstitious "jinxing"

r.i.p... always sad to lose someone

R i p

i can confirm that a friend has msg'd me and confirmed it is him, what upsets me is that it is a lose of such a bright soul at a tender age of 20.

Terrible news..

What was his username?

^ i did confirm in my earlier post.
a life ended in such tragedy...be safe everyone else...

This is one thing I never wanted to read here...

R.I.P Brian =(

so sad to hear. RIP.

take care everyone.

i dont know if this is appropriate and how people would that this, but how would every1 in melbourne like to hold a memorial cruise/meet?

daym man RIP

Not sure what happened there ^, but my condolences to his friends and family. R.I.P.

his username is

bchiew128

his car is

im not sure although i think he is the guy standing in the red/black strip top behind his car in the middle photo

Does anyone know how the accident happend? just seems a little odd the nature of the accident in the middle of the city at 7pm which seems like a busy road..

With respect to the person at hand. Lets not discuss the acident scene, how it happen etc. Point is it has happened and we are sending out our thoughts to him, family and friends. Rest in peace mate!

R.i.p. hope that his family and friends recover from this. sad to hear

Sorry to hear mate :(
Do you know what happened?

he was on the way home from badminton training, and he took a corner onto canterbury rd, where he lost control and hit the centre concrete wall then bounced off and hit a concrete power pole

R.i.p

may he rest in peace

RIP Brian Chiew

Not only did we share the love for these cars but your cousin was a extremely friendly person who made me feel so comfortable please tell his mrs on behalf of myself (Ali) and my mrs (Mel) that we are truelly devastated for her loss and wish her peace in this time of sorrow.

It is always a tradegy. May he rest in peace, Condelonces to family.

I could not believe the tragic news when I heard as I was playing badminton with him on the Sunday. He left early because he was feeling tired.
Very very sad loss.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
R.I.P Brian

R.i.p.

Rip :(

R.I.P sorry to hear :(

R.I.P so sorry to hear :( give all th best to family and frinds

Your friend Brian , must have been do at least 90kms when he flew past me just before the bend in canterburry rd just before the lights. On approx the apex of the bend he tried to swing into the left hand lane to go around the banked up cars at the lights, lost the rear , slid sideways , hit the kerb and straight into the concrete pole ,,,, drivers door took the full impact ....... not the same or even close to the impact on his family and friends this will have .... I didnt know Brian i just saw him make a split second decission in the last couple of seconds of his life ..... sorry to every one involved

i thought i'd make this account to inform you it was Brian Chiew, i am his cousin, and would like to thank the people that have paid their respect and wishes towards him and his family.

Bill[/QUOTE]

ummmm..... thanks for the detailed details

well there you go, its a stern reminder that our cars cant tend to step out on us if we dont take care in the wet, i really hope this has made an impact on all of us and will decide to slow down in the future.

i was in the same class as his gf when we were in high school....cant imagine how painful it is for her atm to lose a loved one. let this be a reminder of how dangerous it can be on the roads....please take care every one when on the road, expecialli with the wet weather atm

R.I.P
Condolences to his family

I remember that Brian said he loved seeing the S2K's all together for a photoshoot/meet. How would some of you guys like to hold a memorial cruise for him? i am happy to organise time and place although i know that the OzHonda community and myself are still upset about the most previous meet where a cyclist was knocked off his bike due to some hoons that attended. So please let me know all your thoughts

sorry for the loss man
i would love to be apart of the s2000 cruise in memory of brian. may he rest in piece and god bless his family.

Sorry to hear your familys loss, but from what you have said above and no dissrecpect but you said the following:

"I didnt know Brian"

then you said

"i am his cousin"

If you're his cousin how come you didnt know him? or did I missunderstand something...

Hes 'miss quoted' what his cousin said the page before. The guy above is just a witness to the accident and no relation to family.

Thought I missed something.

i dont own a honda, but was wondering if i could tag along, i will see if i can bring his girlfriend, if she is feeling better

YLDS2K, post a EOI in the lounge to gauge feedback/attendance for the cruise. Organise it with Billenium23, sort out dates etc. Once set in stone post in Upcoming Events section with relevant details.

I didnt know brian personally, but I still think its a sad day to lose a fellow s2k driver. We're a relatively small community and news like this is a shock to us all. I think we've all had at least one scary moment in the wet where our car has slid out more than expected so it could have been any of us. If all of brians friends dont mind my attendance I'll be down for the cruise

omg...this may the first of this things happens in my life !! Met a new friend a month ago then lost forever! i was organised a small photo shoot before the cruise was held on about a month time, i still have his car and photos in my computer tat took from the shoot!! he was a nice guy , i dont know how to express my feeling now, nth else just RIP.....God will always there for you!!!

ps:after reading the entire post, i hav seen someone was mention abt a cruise of brain....im down for this for sure!!! i will start roll call , doesnt matter if this is not come true, but this is the only things i can do for him now!!!

first will have to organise a date, time and destination. i've talked to his girlfriend and sister's and they are very appreciative of everyone's support through this hard time, thanks a lot guys

Rest In Peace Brian...

Slow down out there guys. Goes to show you life can change within a few seconds and leave behind loving family and friends to grieve. Not worth it.

Take care.

My deepest condolences to Brian's family and friends.

Alvin_R, like you I've just met Brian recently too and now he's gone forever. I met Brian last Wednesday night and partnered him in a badminton game. Was looking forward to partnering him again last night until I found out the tragic news and it was very sad indeed! I've read every single post on this tributary thread and I regret that I didn't attend his funeral service this morning. I think the idea of a memorial cruise is a great one however I would ask the organiser to respect the wishes of his family should they feel it's inappropriate.

Even though it was such a short time that I've known you for, i will remember you as being friendly, energetic and moved like lighting on the badminton court.

RIP Brian as you'll be remembered by your family and friends. Time spent will be cherished by them forever!

Brian's family are fine with the memorial cruise, as they know how much he loves cars

If Brian had a S2000 with VSA (06 onwards) would it have possibly stopped or reduced the sidewards slide into the pole? Also, I too would like to pass on my condolences to Brian’s family.

RIP brian.

i've never met another s2000 owner in SA or QLD who plays badminton, guess i won't either in NSW now

To know it's someone so close to the Honda community it hits even harder..
This is not a way anyone should die but it happens sadly :(
Brian may you rest in peace.

You know when i think hard about this as this has actually hit me hard.. i wonder how many times im lucky to be alive by stupid decisions...
I think this has actually woken me up and i think it's time to settle the hell now.

If there is a cruise in honour of his memory you can definately count me in.
I may not of known him but a member of this community is a brother & sister to us all.
We will make it one to remember for him & his family.

Although I don't know him. Any lose of life is saddeing.
My condolences to his friends and especially his family/loved ones.

R.I.P.
