In a tragic incident this morning, a bus driver lost his life after sustaining severe injuries that are believed to have been caused by a collision with another vehicle in Kowloon Bay. The driver, identified as Mr. Lau, was discovered lying on the ground at the KMB Kowloon Bay Depot with head injuries and a broken leg.
The incident took place around 7 am when a concerned KMB staff member immediately notified the police upon finding Mr. Lau in a critical condition. Paramedics swiftly arrived at the scene and transported him to United Christian Hospital, where he was sadly pronounced dead.
Authorities suspect that Mr. Lau was struck by another vehicle, and investigators are currently reviewing security camera footage in an effort to determine the exact cause of the accident. The police are committed to thoroughly investigating the incident and bringing clarity to this tragic event.
