The accident took place at approximately 11 am when a tram traveling east along Des Voeux Road Central collided with the victim, identified as Ms. Wan, near Two Chinachem Central. Ms. Wan suffered severe injuries to her head and hands and was immediately rushed to Queen Mary Hospital by ambulance. Despite receiving medical care and remaining in a semi-comatose state for two days, her condition worsened, and she tragically passed away on February 2nd at 5:23 pm.


It should be noted that the accident did not occur at a designated pedestrian crossing. Hong Kong Tramways, in response to inquiries, stated that as the tram approached Pedder Street in Central, a woman suddenly rushed across the road. The tram driver reacted quickly by applying the brakes, but the left front of the tram still collided with the woman. Firefighters arrived at the scene promptly and transported the injured woman to the hospital.


Hong Kong Tramways Limited has expressed its full cooperation with the police in their investigation to determine the precise details and causes of the accident.



中環悲劇意外奪走一名37歲女子的生命



一起悲劇意外於香港中環發生,導致一名37歲女子被電車撞倒並喪生。


事故發生在1月31日上午約11時,一輛行駛東行的電車在中環德輔道中與受害者溫女士在中環華懋中心附近發生碰撞。溫女士頭部和手部嚴重受傷,立即由救護車送往瑪麗醫院。儘管接受了醫療照顧,並在半昏迷狀態下度過了兩天,但她的病情惡化,不幸於2月2日下午5時23分去世。


需注意的是,此次事故並未發生在指定的行人穿越處。香港電車公司在詢問中回應稱,當電車接近中環畢打街時,一名女子突然衝過馬路。電車司機迅速反應並緊急煞車,但電車的左前方仍與女子發生碰撞。消防員迅速趕到現場,將受傷的女子送往醫院。


香港電車公司承諾全力配合警方調查事故的詳細情況和原因。
