Mercedes driver hospitalized after crossover collision in Tai Wo Hau

A male driver was hospitalized unconscious after his Mercedes collided with a parked truck in Tai Wo Hau early Wednesday.

Police received reports around 2am of a collision between a private car and medium-sized truck on Tai Wo Hau Road, with the car driver trapped inside his vehicle.

Firefighters rescued the unconscious driver, who was transported to Princess Margaret Hospital for emergency treatment.

Initial reports suggest the white Mercedes was traveling downhill toward Tsuen Wan when it lost control at a left curve near Fu On House of Tai Wo Hau Estate, hitting the central divider before crossing into the opposite lane and colliding with a vegetable delivery truck's rear.

The Mercedes sustained significant front-end damage and blocked the roadway, while the truck showed only minor rear deformation. Police have cordoned off the area to investigate the crash cause.
