3 injured in major collision between Ferrari and taxi in Hong Kong
Front of both cars smashed in Braemar Hill accident that occurred at 11.31pm on Saturday
Three people were injured in a collision between a Ferrari sports car and a taxi in Hong Kong at the weekend, with both vehicles badly damaged.
Police said on Sunday they received reports of the accident on Braemar Hill at 11.31pm on Saturday. The Ferrari driver and two passengers in the taxi were injured.
Two lanes of Yee King Road on Braemar Hill were temporarily closed due to the accident.
Police said the Ferrari driver suffered a nosebleed and sustained injuries on the right side of his forehead and left forearm. He and the taxi passengers were sent to Ruttonjee Hospital in Wan Chai.
Photos circulating on the internet showed the front of both vehicles had been smashed in the accident. The airbags of the red Ferrari were triggered, while the bonnet and boot of the taxi were open.
A man was seen trying to pick up a detached tyre of the sports car from the opposite lane, and red debris was strewn across the road.
In September, police intercepted a red Ferrari sports car on Tuen Mun Road for travelling at more than twice the 70km/h (43.5mph) speed limit. The 46-year-old driver failed a drug test and was later found to have been previously banned from driving after causing a fatal accident.
