Hong Kong delivery man jailed for three years over accident where he rammed policeman, killing him
- Ng Kin-shing, 59, had a history of convictions for careless driving
- Senior constable Lum Hoi-wan died after Ng’s speeding truck hit him in March 2017
Ng Kin-shing, 59, had his driving licence suspended for four years by District Court Judge Johnny Chan Jong-herng, who also ordered the driver to take part in a driving improvement scheme if he ever wanted to get his licence back.
Ng had earlier pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing the death of senior constable Lum Hoi-wan when he mowed down the officer on the East Kowloon Corridor near Wo Chung Street in Hung Hom on March 22, 2017.
He was driving at a speed of at least 89 kilometres per hour when his truck hit Lam – the road has a maximum speed of 70km/h.
The father of three also pleaded guilty to one extra count of driving with a defective vehicle, which had two unlawful reserve lights. He was fined HK$2,000 for the offence.
The judge described the man’s driving record as “poor” after learning that Ng had been convicted of careless driving on three separate occasions in 2013 and 2014.
