The driver of a delivery van died after his vehicle slammed into the back of a stationary truck on a Hong Kong motorway before daybreak on Friday.
But his front-seat passenger escaped unscathed in the accident that happened near San Hui Playground in Tuen Mun at about 4.20am.
Yu Ka-hin, 27, was driving his delivery van along Tuen Mun Road heading towards Yuen Long when it rammed into the rear of the roadworks truck parked in the fast lane, police said. His vehicle suffered extensive damage and its right side was badly crushed.
Yu was trapped in the driver’s seat and had to be freed by firefighters. “Sustaining multiple injuries, he was certified dead at the scene,” a police spokesman said.
