A 38-year-old man was killed and two 48-year-old men injured in a six-vehicle pile-up in Tsing Yi. 

 

At 10.40am, two private cars, a light goods vehicle, two container trucks and a medium goods vehicle were travelling on Ting Kau Bridge towards the New Territories. 

 

The first private car broke down outside the Tsing Ma Administration Building. The following three vehicles stopped in time, but the last two vehicles rammed the front vehicles resulting in a chain collision.

 

Three men inside the medium goods vehicle, including the 48-year-old driver and two passengers, aged 38 and 48, were injured. The 38-year-old passenger was certified dead at Princess Margaret Hospital at 11.21am.

 

Witnesses are urged to call Police on 3661 1300 or 3661 1346.
