Police are investigating a fatal traffic accident in Tsing Yi this afternoon (March 16) in which a 33-year-old man died.

     At about 2.21pm, a public light bus (PLB) driven by a 63-year-old man was travelling along Tsing Yi Road West towards Ching Hong Road. When approaching the junction of Tsing Yi Road West and Liu To Road, it reportedly rammed into a motorcycle driven by the 33-year-old man.

     Sustaining multiple injuries, the man was rushed to Princess Margaret Hospital in unconscious state, and was certified dead at 3.48pm.

     The PLB driver was arrested for dangerous driving causing death and is being detained for further enquiries.
