A roadside cleaner was knocked down unconscious by a moving truck this morning around 9 a.m. at Consort Rise in Pok Fu Lam when she was cleaning up the fallen dried leaves by the side of the road.
The 66-year-old woman suffered multiple injuries and was unconscious before the paramedic came to rush her to Queen Mary Hospital. A trail of blood was left on the road where the incident happened with a blood-stained surgical mask and cleaning tools remaining at the scene, the source said.
"The woman was hit by the truck that was trying to make a turn onto Consort Rise from Victoria Road", the source said. This road section is normally restricted to every vehicle conveying goods with a weight of over 5.5 tonnes.
The incident is still under further investigation with the help of the truck driver but police suspected that the accident might happened as a result of the driver's negligence of ignoring the traffic signs.
66歲路邊清潔工在薄扶林被貨車撞倒不省人事
一名路邊清潔工今早約九時在薄扶林康思台清理路邊落下的干樹葉時，被一輛超速行駛的貨車撞倒，不省人事。
這名 66 歲的女子多處受傷，在醫護人員趕來將她送往瑪麗醫院前昏迷不醒。 事發馬路上留有血跡，現場還留有血跡斑斑的外科口罩和清潔工具，
消息人士稱。
“這名女子被試圖從維多利亞路轉入 Consort Rise 的卡車撞到，”消息人士說。 該路段通常僅限於每輛運輸重量超過 5.5 噸的貨物的車輛通行。
事故仍在卡車司機的幫助下進一步調查，但警方懷疑這起事故可能是司機忽視交通標誌的疏忽所致。
