Female driver in critical condition after crash on Tung Chung Road

A female driver is now in critical condition following a crash that saw two cars collide head-on on Tung Chung Road on Tuesday morning. 

The crash occurred on Tung Chung Road near Shek Mun Kap Road around 6.30 am today. The female driver, 54-year-old Yeung, was trapped in the driver's seat and had fallen unconscious by the time rescuers arrived. 

She sustained a severe injury to her head and was rushed to Princess Margaret Hospital. 

The other male driver – 46-year-old Lee – sustained an injury to his chest but remained in a conscious state. He was later sent to North Lantau Hospital. 

According to live sources, the silver car driven by Yeung and the blue car driven by Lee were both traveling along Tung Chung Road but in opposite directions, with the former heading towards Tung Chung and the latter towards Lantau South. 

The silver car suddenly lost control near Shek Mun Kap Road when turning right, crossing into oncoming traffic. The blue vehicle failed to brake in time and rammed into the left side of the silver car. 

Both cars were seriously damaged following the collision. A police investigation is now underway.
