An elderly man died after being knocked unconscious by a minibus in Shau Kei Wan on Tuesday morning in Hong Kong’s sixth fatal traffic accident in four days.
The man was trying to cross On Yin Street near a pedestrian crossing outside Oi Tung Estate when the incident happened shortly after 10.30am.
“He was taken unconscious to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital [in Chai Wan] where he was later declared dead,” a police spokesman said.
Officers from the Hong Kong Island traffic unit are investigating.
