2 Hong Kong drivers injured, dog dead after 2-car collision on Yuen Long road

Two Hong Kong drivers have been injured and a dog has died after a collision between two cars on a road in Yuen Long.

Dashcam footage of the incident circulating online showed a car trying to slow down to avoid the canine, which was struck by a white Mercedes-Benz saloon after it swerved to the other lane of Long Tin Road. A seven-seater vehicle then slammed into the back of the Mercedes.

“The driver of the car in the front slammed on the brakes after seeing a dog but the second car could not stop in time,” a police spokesman said on Wednesday. “The two drivers suffered minor injuries and the dog died.”
