The hit-and-run occurred on Thursday night when police approached the driver of an illegally parked white car on a lane off Castle Peak Road in Sham Shui Po.

The driver was initially identified as a man in his twenties.

The vehicle struck another car as it sped off, mounting a pavement and hitting a 66-year-old woman. She was sent to Princess Margaret Hospital with serious injuries, but was certified dead at 4.58pm the next day.

Two men, surnamed Liu and Chong, were also injured during the incident.

Officers from the Sham Shui Po district crime squad are investigating the case.

Police said the case was being treated as “reckless driving, drug trafficking and driving without a licence” and had not ruled out further arrests.
