A couple of accidents due to people falling from heights occurred last week in Sai Kung.
At 7:45 am on Thursday (4/1) the fire department received a report that a man was calling for help near the Equestrian Centre on Lobster Bay Road in Clear Water Bay. He was believed to have suffered a sprain and was trapped on the slope.
The slope where the rescue took place
According to on-site reports, the victim was in his 20s. He went to watch the sunrise and it is suspected that he had fallen down the slope and called the police. Firefighters arrived at the scene and found the victim on a hillside 30 metres below the top of the mountain. They rescued him and carried him down the mountain to the hospital for treatment, and helped take away his backpack.
Rescue services take the victim to hospital
A couple of days earlier (2/1), about 1:00 pm, police received a report that a man in his 30s had fallen from the first floor of a house under renovation in Ho Chung Village, Sai Kung, and was unconscious.
By the time the ambulance arrived, the worker regained consciousness, and his head was fixed with a neck brace and he was sent to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The worker was conscious when he was taken to the hospital and was accompanied by a co-worker. The cause of the accident is still under investigation and the police classified the case as an industrial accident.
