2 passengers killed as truck collides with taxi on Hong Kong road Taxi flips over at least six times after being hit by truck on Tsing Sha Highway on Tuesday night Two passengers were killed late on Tuesday when a truck slammed into their taxi on a wet highway in Hong Kong, with the cab flipping at least six times and tossing one of the victims onto the road. Police said the collision occurred at about 10pm on Tsing Sha Highway in Cheung Sha Wan as both vehicles were heading eastbound. The taxi was struck by the light goods truck near Hoi Lai Estate. The taxi’s two passengers, a man and a woman, suffered multiple injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene. One passenger was thrown from the vehicle. Footage circulating online shows the truck apparently skidding on the rain‑slicked road before veering out of control and crashing into the taxi. The taxi driver is unable to brake in time and smashes into the roadside barrier. The vehicle then flips at least six times before coming to rest, while the truck lands on its side and slides more than 10 metres along the road. [Image text:] AXI BigBoss
