Fatal traffic accident in Tin Shui Wai
**************************************
At about 11.17am, Police received a report that a man was trapped beneath a medium goods vehicle (MGV) with a container trailer.
Police officers sped to the scene. The 71-year-old man was rescued by firemen. Sustaining serious multiple injuries, he was rushed to Tin Shui Wai Hospital in unconscious state and was certified dead at 1.16pm today.
Initial investigation revealed that the man had parked his MGV at a warehouse car park in San Hing Tsuen on Lau Fau Shan Road. After alighting, the vehicle reportedly rolled forward. The man attempted to re-enter his vehicle to brake. The vehicle door then struck the container of another MGV parked in front, trapping him between his vehicle and the container. The other MGV subsequently moved off and the man reportedly fell to the ground, after which he was run over by his still-rolling vehicle.
Investigation by the Special Investigation Team of Traffic, New Territories North is underway.
