In a recent incident that took place in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, a Filipino woman was hit by a taxi while she was crossing the intersection of Queen's Road East and Spring Garden Lane. The incident occurred at approximately 11 am yesterday. The 59-year-old woman suffered injuries to her back but remained conscious throughout the ordeal. She was immediately transported to Ruttonjee Hospital for medical treatment. The taxi driver, a 75-year-old man named Mr. Lok, stayed at the scene to cooperate with the investigation.
The incident was captured on a dashboard camera inside the taxi, and the footage has since gone viral online. The video clearly shows that the traffic light was green at the time of the accident. The woman, who was carrying an umbrella, hurriedly crossed the road, ignoring the red pedestrian signal. She was struck by the taxi, causing her to be thrown into the air and out of view within the dashcam footage. Onlookers were shocked and reacted with gasps and exclamations. A concerned voice can be heard asking, "Oh dear! Is she okay?" The taxi driver, filled with frustration, expressed disbelief, exclaiming, "She really didn't look and rushed out!"
Coincidentally, a police car was parked on the opposite side of the road and witnessed the accident. The police officers immediately activated their lights and two of them rushed to the scene to assess the situation. One officer quickly crossed the road to check on the injured pedestrian.
It is important to note that pedestrians should always adhere to traffic signals and exercise caution when crossing the road. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of following traffic rules to ensure the safety of both pedestrians and motorists.
香港灣仔發生菲律賓女子被的士撞傷事件
在最近發生於香港灣仔的一起事故中，一名菲律賓女子在橫過皇后大道東和春園街的路口時被一輛的士撞到。該事件發生在昨天上午約11時。這名59歲的女子背部受傷，但在整個過程中保持清醒。她立即被送往律敦治醫院接受治療。的士司機是一名75歲的男子姓樂，他留在現場協助調查。
該事故被的士內的行車紀錄器拍攝到，並且這段影片已在網上迅速傳播開來。影片清楚顯示事故發生時交通燈為綠燈。這名女子拿著一把雨傘，匆忙橫越馬路，無視紅燈指示。她被的士撞到，使她被拋到空中，並在行車紀錄器的影片中消失不見。旁觀者驚呼不已。可以聽到一個關切的聲音問道：“天哪！她沒事吧？”的士司機充滿沮喪，不敢相信地驚呼：“她真的沒有看就衝出來了！”
巧合的是，一輛警車恰好停在馬路的對面，目睹了這一事故。警察立即啟動了警車警示燈，兩名警員迅速趕到現場評估情況。其中一名警員迅速穿越馬路，檢查受傷的行人。
值得注意的是，行人應始終遵守交通信號並在橫越馬路時要保持警覺。這一事件提醒我們要遵守交通規則，以確保行人和駕駛人的安全。
