A 73-year-old driver was in a critical condition while three other people were injured in a five-car pile-up in Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung yesterday morning (14/4). He was driving a BMW i3 along Clear Water Bay Road towards the roundabout near Ying Yip Road when he was suspected of losing control and crashing into an adjacent car. That car, a BMW X5, then careened into two other cars – a Mini Cooper and a Kia seven-seater and a goods van.
Four people were injured in the incident. The BMW driver suffered a head injury and fell into a coma. He was rushed to Tseung Kwan O Hospital by ambulance and is in critical condition. The remaining three injured, including the BMW driver’s wife, a 74-year-old passenger in the front seat, were sent to the hospital for treatment.
Among the injured were a 62-year-old female passenger of the van 62, and the 51-year-old female driver of a Mini Cooper, who both sustained injuries to their limbs.
Police are investigating if the BMW i3 driver’s health condition was a factor in the accident; he is said to have suffered from a heart condition. Police are investigating the incident. Parts of Clear Water Bay Road and Ying Yip Road were closed for a couple of hours, causing traffic congestion in Tseung Kwan O and along Clear Water Bay Road.
