Hong Kong driver arrested after three-car smash leaves 2 dead and 5 injured
- Lamborghini, Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic collide at notorious accident black spot
- Civic motorist detained on suspicion of dangerous driving after incident that left Lamborghini and Corolla drivers dead
Two motorists were killed and five people injured – one critically – when a Lamborghini and two other cars crashed on a northern Hong Kong road on Sunday night.
Police arrested a third driver on suspicion of dangerous driving after the crash near a popular barbecue area on Bride’s Pool Road in Tai Po, a notorious black spot for traffic accidents.
According to police, the high-performance sports car, which was being driven by a 41-year-old businessman, was travelling uphill heading towards Tai Po while a Toyota Corolla, a Honda Civic and a motorcycle were coming in the opposite direction towards Sha Tau Kok shortly before 10.15pm.
“An initial investigation suggested the Corolla lost control and crossed the opposite lane and slammed into the Lamborghini,” a police source said. “The Corolla shot into the air, landed on the Civic and then bounced forward before it turned upside down and came to a stop.”
The 25-year-old motorcyclist was unable to avoid the crash and suffered minor injuries as a result.
