Driver, 37, dies, passenger critical after fiery crash in Hong Kong
Blue, high-powered Subaru lost control, hit speed camera and tree before bursting into flames early on Sunday
A male driver was burned to death and his passenger seriously injured after their car smashed into a speed camera, hit a tree and burst into flames in Hong Kong early on Sunday.
The driver, surnamed Ng, 37, was behind the wheel of his blue, high-performance Subaru when the accident took place at around 1am in Tai Po.
The male passenger, 49, managed to crawl out of car before it caught fire and was helped away by other drivers. He sustained serious chest injuries and was sent to hospital in a critical condition.
The police are investigating the accident.
Ng, whose badly burned body was removed from the car by rescue services, was survived by a wife and two children. He was known to be a car lover and frequently shared pictures of his vehicle on Facebook. The car was a WRX S4 model. Ng just last week posted photos on his Facebook page of his family. He also had pictures of him posing with his car.
