Second victim dies from Ngau Tau Kok taxi crash, death toll rises to 2

A 31-year-old woman who had her right leg severed in a Ngau Tau Kok taxi crash last Wednesday has died in hospital, bringing the death toll from the incident to two, police said.

The woman was pronounced dead at Queen Elizabeth Hospital around 5.30pm on Monday. A 38-year-old woman died at the scene on the day of the crash after both her legs were severed.

The 70-year-old taxi driver has been provisionally charged with four dangerous driving-related offences. His case will be heard at Kwun Tong Magistrates' Courts on Thursday.

Both victims worked at Caritas Ngau Tau Kok Dental Clinic, with the 38-year-old working as a dental surgery assistant and the 31-year-old as a staff member. Caritas expressed deep sorrow over the accident and extended its deepest condolences to the families.
