Samantha Teoh, a 33-year-old Hong Kong pop singer, will get 750,000 yuan (US$97,403) compensation from China CYTS Shanghai Auto Service Co Ltd, company driver Shan Genbao, and a truck driver surnamed Chen for her injury in a traffic accident, the Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate People's Court ruled yesterday.

On February 28, 2004, Teoh and her boyfriend took a taxi driven by Shan to their hotel. Shan soon realized he was going in the wrong direction and tried to make a U-turn, when a truck smashed into the right side of the car. Teoh was badly injured, suffering numerous broken ribs and internal injuries. The injuries have hindered her career, the court heard.
