A Hong Kong police motorcycle has collided with a Mercedes-Benz limousine on a highway leading to the Tai Lam Tunnel, injuring an officer and two others.
The force said it received a report at 10.26am on Saturday that the motorcycle and the private car had crashed on Tsing Long Highway, leaving the police officer, driver and female passenger of the car injured.
“The police officer has sustained injuries to his hands and hip, and has been sent to Princess Margaret Hospital for treatment,” a force spokesman said.
The Post learned that the officer suffered a broken left forearm and a swollen hip. He works in the traffic enforcement and control division in the New Territories South region.
Footage and images circulating online showed a uniformed traffic police officer lying on the highway, with parts of the motorcycle scattered around.
Parts of the rear of the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 sedan were damaged, and a woman standing next to it had blood covering her forehead.
