3 Filipino Passengers Injured as Taxi Overturns in Collision with Truck on Tung Chung Waterfront Road

On August 3rd, 2024, a taxi accident on Tung Chung Waterfront Road left three Filipino passengers injured. The accident occurred around 8:32 AM when the taxi, carrying urban passengers, was traveling along the North Lantau Highway towards Tung Chung Town Center.

The taxi veered off course and slammed into the right side of a moving truck. The impact caused the taxi to careen towards a roadside barrier before flipping onto its side, trapping the driver and three Filipino passengers inside.


Upon the fire service's arrival, the occupants had managed to escape the vehicle on their own. However, the three Filipino passengers were found injured and conscious, requiring immediate medical attention. They were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, while both the taxi driver and the truck driver remained unharmed at the scene to assist with the ongoing investigation.


According to the truck driver, the taxi was reportedly traveling at a considerable speed, suggesting the taxi driver may have attempted evasive maneuvers before colliding with the barrier and overturning.



三名菲律賓乘客在屯門海濱道的士與貨車相撞後傾覆受


2024年8月3日,一起在屯門海濱道發生的的士意外令三名菲律賓乘客受傷。事故於上午8時32分左右發生,當時載有城市乘客的的士正沿北大嶼山公路行駛往屯門市中心方向。


的士偏離車道後撞上正在行駛的貨車右側。衝擊力導致的士衝向路邊護欄後側翻,困住司機和三名菲律賓乘客在車內。


消防人員到達後,車內乘客已自行逃出。不過,三名菲律賓乘客被發現受傷及清醒,需要立即接受醫療救治。他們被送往附近醫院治療,而的士司機和貨車司機則留在現場協助調查。


據貨車司機透露,的士當時疑似以相當高的車速行駛,暗示的士司機可能在撞上護欄和側翻前曾嘗試進行閃避動作。
