The passengers were probably not wearing their seatbelts
One man was killed when he and another man, both apparently not wearing seatbelts, were thrown from a car in a crash yesterday.
The car, carrying three men and a woman, collided with another car in Yuen Long at 6.20am.
The impact tore open the left back door of the sedan, throwing Leung Man-sun, 19, and Leung Chai-kit, 21, onto the road. They were unconscious when paramedics arrived.
'We suspect the two men had not fastened their seatbelts at the time of the crash,' a police investigator said. Leung Man-sun was certified dead at Tuen Mun Hospital at 7am. Leung Chai-kit regained consciousness and was in a stable condition last night.
The 21-year-old driver, who is suspected of running a red light, was arrested for dangerous driving causing death and released on $5,000 bail.
