Tolo Highway, Hong Kong.
A Hong Kong paramedic off-duty officer had passed away a couple of days ago after his car crashed into another vehicle on Tolo Highway in the New Territories, a report said.
According to the authority's statement to the SCMP news platform on Sunday, the 31-year-old officer, surnamed Chen died two days ago at 9.33 pm.
The report said he slammed his car into the rear side of a van as he was purportedly not able to put his car to stop in time while driving at Tolo Highway near Chinese University, around 7 pm on Thursday.
Consequently, he suffered serious injuries on his neck and was rushed to the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sha Tin while unconscious, the report added. However, he died from his sustained injuries.
The spokesperson said, “The department is saddened by the death of [Chen] and will continue to provide all possible assistance to the family".
Chen worked with the Tai Po Ambulance Station and the Welfare team had been providing help to his family members, the Fire Department said.
According to the provisional police data, 2,400 traffic accidents resulted into injuries in the first two months of this year, with 15 fatalities recorded in Hong Kong.
