From a pedestrian killed in a traffic collision to an elderly hiker collapsing during a trek with his son and a domestic helper and her employer losing their lives in a car crash, the city is reeling from these heartbreaking events.

The collision resulted in the death of a 40-year-old female pedestrian, with two others left unconscious. The injured victims were rushed to the hospital for treatment, highlighting the dangers pedestrians face on Hong Kong’s busy streets.
In a separate incident, an elderly hiker tragically collapsed and died during a trek with his son along the Sheung Yiu trail in the Sai Kung East Country Park. Despite efforts to save him, the hiker succumbed to his condition, underscoring the risks associated with outdoor activities, especially for older individuals.
Additionally, a domestic helper and her employer lost their lives in a car crash in Tai Po. The victims, a 37-year-old Indonesian domestic helper and an 88-year-old local woman, were fatally injured in the collision. The incident also left a 71-year-old pedestrian injured, further highlighting the devastating consequences of road accidents.
These incidents serve as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of road safety and caution during outdoor activities. The community mourns the loss of these individuals and extends its condolences to their families and loved ones during this difficult time.
