A three-vehicle crash near Chi Fu Gardens on Pok Fu Lam Road at about 1pm on August 22, 2026 left two people trapped and sent to hospital. The vehicles involved were a light goods or passenger-carrying vehicle, a refrigerated lorry and a dump truck.
The front of the light goods or passenger-carrying vehicle was badly damaged. Its 61-year-old male driver and 59-year-old female passenger were trapped inside before firefighters freed them. Both were conscious and taken to Queen Mary Hospital. The man had a bleeding head injury, while the woman was reported to have injuries to her hand and chest.
The 56-year-old dump-truck driver complained of chest discomfort and received treatment at the scene before declining hospitalisation.
Police investigated the crash, and a 38-year-old driver was reported to have tested positive or failed a rapid oral test before being arrested on suspicion of drug driving. The reports disagree over whether the arrested driver was operating the refrigerated lorry or the light goods vehicle, and the allegation has not been established as a court finding.
One report also said suspected drug-taking equipment was found in the refrigerated lorry and that the suspected drug was cocaine. Those details were reported as information from the scene and remain unconfirmed.
The accounts also differ over whether the vehicles were travelling towards Chi Fu Gardens or Aberdeen, which vehicle struck first and whether the dump truck was parked by the roadside. The reports variously described the refrigerated lorry as striking the light goods vehicle, or the light goods vehicle as colliding with another vehicle before being pushed into the dump truck.
The supplied reports did not establish the final collision sequence, the vehicles’ direction of travel, the identity of the arrested driver, the test results, whether formal charges were brought or the later condition of the two hospitalised people.
