3 Hongkongers injured after BMW crashes into truck and taxi, mounts pavement on busy street

Three people have been injured after an out-of-control BMW car crashed into a truck and a taxi, mounted a pavement and struck two pedestrians on a busy Hong Kong street.

Police said the crash took place on Tai Yau Street near the junction with Sam Chuk Street in San Po Kong at around 8.51am on Wednesday.

A video online shows the grey BMW vehicle veering to the right and colliding with a dump truck on the Hung Hom-bound Yai Tau Street before crossing to the opposite path.

It was then seen mounting a pavement and driving for a short distance outside New Tech Plaza before it returned to Kwun Tong-bund Tai Yau Street and hit a taxi that was turning left from Sam Chuk Street.

Footage shows the BMW driving back to Hung Hom-bound lane. In the video, the car stopped after slamming into railings.

“The car hit two pedestrians [a 65-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman] after mounting a pavement,” a police spokeswoman said.

She said the taxi driver, 60, also complained of chest pain.
