Student injured after Tesla runs over foot outside school on first day

A 14-year-old student was taken to hospital on Tuesday morning after a Tesla rolled over his foot outside his school in Tai Kok Tsui on the first day of the academic year.

The incident occurred at 7.33am outside a secondary school at 14–66 Sycamore Street. The boy had just been dropped off by his 47-year-old father, who was driving the electric vehicle.

After getting out, the student turned back to retrieve a left-behind item from the vehicle, at which point its rear wheel rolled over his foot.

School staff provided a chair for the student as he waited for help. Paramedics arrived at the scene and found the boy conscious but in severe pain.

Accompanied by a woman carrying his schoolbag, the injured student was rushed to Kwong Wah Hospital for treatment.

Police are investigating the cause of the accident.
