A man in his 60s has died after being struck by a bus in Hong Kong’s North Point.
The fatal accident happened at the junction of King’s Road and Tin Chong Street at around 8.17am, with police and ambulance personnel arriving at the scene after a report by the Citybus driver.
Police said the victim suffered severe head injuries and was unconscious before being rushed to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital in Chai Wan, where he was certified dead at 8.54am.
An investigation into the cause of the crash is under way.
The Citybus involved in the accident was operating on Route 38, between Chi Fu Fa Yuen and North Point Ferry Pier. Photos from the scene showed severe cracks to the left side of its windscreen.
Following the collision, all Chai Wan-bound lanes on King’s Road near Tin Chong Street were temporarily cordoned off, but normal traffic flow has since resumed.
