Police hunting for suspects of two separate hit-and-run cases

Two hit-and-run cases occurred Sunday morning in one hour in Kowloon Tong and Tai Po.

The first case happened in Tai Po at around 6 am, a driver lost control of his Mercedes-Benz sedan going down the slope on Tai Po Tai Wo Road when turning right to enter Po Nga Road.

The car crashed into the metal fence and a traffic light before overturning on the streets, and the driver climbed out of the vehicle with minor injuries.

The police and paramedics were alerted to the scene, but the driver was nowhere to be found when they arrived.

Around an hour later, an Audi sedan driving on Kowloon Tong Waterloo Road crashed into the safety island when it got near the junction of Hei Fuk Street and rammed three traffic lights.

Pedestrians witnessed a male driver and a female passenger abandoning the vehicle and reported the incident to the police.

The police are currently investigating the cause of the accident.
