A biker and a passenger died and three others were injured following a collision involving a motorcycle and a taxi in Mong Kok early Sunday morning. 

The collision occurred at the intersection between Nathan Road and Argyle Street around 2.45 am, after which the biker Chan, 22, and the female passenger Cheung, 24, were thrown into the air and landed on the sidewalk in distance, sustained multiple injuries to their bodies. 

They both collapsed outside the Hang Seng Bank and were rushed to Kwong Wah Hospital. Cheung was eventually pronounced dead at 3.43 am and Chan at 3.55 am. 

The 27-year-old taxi driver Yeung and the male passenger Sze, 38, also sustained injuries. A 69-year-old male pedestrian Wong was injured by flying debris as well.

As shown at the scene, parts of the motorcycle scattered all over the ground stained by blood. The fence railing on the sidewalk became crooked as well.
