More than one car may have hit feral cattle in Lantau accident
Police agree with activists that heavy vehicle could have been involved in Lantau accident because of injuries and number of cattle killed
More than one vehicle could have been involved in the hit-and-run crash that killed eight cattle on Lantau early on Wednesday, police said yesterday.
A spokesman said investigators had not ruled out the possibility that other vehicles - or a different vehicle from the one owned by a woman arrested over the deaths - were involved in the accident.
This came as social network sites buzzed with speculation about the blame for the deaths and one woman described how she had been accosted and falsely accused in front of her four-year-old son.
Police chiefs meanwhile have promised to train officers to deal better with incidents involving Lantau's feral cattle after complaints about the initial reaction by the force.
The eight animals were left dead or dying by the roadside in Tong Fuk Village for several hours.
An expatriate woman resident of Tong Fuk was arrested later in the day after her Mitsubishi SUV was discovered in a nearby car park, dented and stained with blood and animal hair.
The 49-year-old, arrested on suspicion of cruelty to animals, was later bailed to report back to police next week.
