A seven-seat minivan was hit by a hearse on Wednesday morning in To Kwa Wan, and three passengers were sent to the hospital.

Police received a report at around 10 am today that a minivan had been crashed into from behind by a hearse when traveling towards the intersection of Sung Wong Toi Road and Pak Tai Street.

Three passengers in the minibus were sent to the hospital as they were feeling unwell. No one was injured in the hearse, and no coffin was carried.

In a separate case also in To Kwa Wan, a minivan hit a fruit stall in the small hours today after speeding up due to the driver’s drunken driving.

According to the police, the minivan was found parking near the traffic light junction of Chi Kiang Street for more than two hours at around 3 am today and caused a temporary traffic jam, which led the witness to call the police in worry about the driver fainting inside.

However, officers found the male driver was sleeping and suddenly woke up after rescuers tapped the minivan’s window glass. The driver then immediately rushed out of the street despite the officers’ pursuit and lost control, ramming into a fruit shop.

The 42-year-old driver surnamed Mak was found not injured but drunk after being given a breath test. He was arrested afterward for drink-driving.
