Tragic Incident: Hong Kong Taxi Driver Dies After Passing Out at the Wheel
A 52-year-old taxi driver named Yeung tragically passed out while driving on a busy interchange in Hong Kong, resulting in him crashing into a kerb. Fortunately, there were no passengers in the vehicle at the time of the incident.
Despite the quick actions of other drivers who witnessed the event and called emergency services, Yeung was declared dead at Tuen Mun Hospital a few hours later.
This incident is a grim reminder of previous accidents involving taxi drivers in Hong Kong. Last year, a similar case occurred where a taxi driver passed out while driving and hit a kerb, resulting in their death. Additionally, there have been two other serious accidents involving taxis earlier this year, including a fatal hit-and-run incident and a collision with a double-decker bus that claimed the lives of a renowned plastic surgeon and a mainland Chinese tourist.
