A government engineer told the District Court yesterday there were no faulty traffic lights in North Point when a fatal accident involving two minibuses and a taxi occurred in October last year.
Ho Kam-shan, a Transport Department traffic engineer, also said that according to computer records of the traffic lights' monitoring system, no traffic lights in that area were switched off on the morning of the accident.
He added the computer system was in good condition on that day, and explained the timing sequence of the traffic lights along Kings Road that morning.
Mr Ho gave evidence yesterday as a prosecution witness in the trial of minibus drivers, Liu Chun-pong, 25, and Poon Wing -kay, 30.
Both Liu and Poon are accused of causing the death of Lee Lai-chuen and Lung Kai-hon through dangerous driving on October 22 last year.
The two also face a joint charge of causing bodily harm to their passengers by racing.
