Electric Mercedes overturns after collision with minibus on Route Twisk

A Mercedes electric vehicle overturned after colliding head-on with a minibus on Route Twisk in Tsuen Wan on Wednesday morning, leaving one person injured.

The accident occurred at around 8.49am on the downhill section of Route Twisk toward Tsuen Wan, near the Hong Kong Gun Club.

According to preliminary information, the Mercedes was traveling downhill when it reportedly lost control on the rain-slick road and crashed head-on into a 28-seat minibus operated by the Department of Health that was heading uphill in the opposite direction.

Following the collision, the Mercedes flipped onto its right side, trapping the driver briefly inside the vehicle.

Rescue personnel later freed the driver, who declined to be taken to the hospital after receiving a medical check at the scene.

The minibus driver complained of dizziness and was sent to a hospital for examination.

Photos from the scene showed the front right side of the minibus severely damaged, while the rear side window of the Mercedes was shattered.

Police are investigating the cause of the accident.
