Hong Kong police arrest driver, seize cocaine after crash leaves 8 injured

Hong Kong police have arrested a driver on suspicion of drug trafficking and furious driving after his vehicle hit two buses and two private cars in a series of crashes that left eight people injured in Yau Ma Tei.

Officers seized 16 packs of suspected cocaine from his car following the incident near Temple Street on Sunday.

At around 2pm, a grey private car was travelling westbound along Jordan Road when it collided with a KMB double-decker bus near Pilkem Street.

The car did not stop and continued forward, crashing into another bus and a private car. It then sped ahead and struck the rear of a white private car at the junction with Shanghai Street.

The crash caused the white car to lose control, veer onto the pavement and spin 180 degrees, while knocking down two pedestrians.

The grey car also spun around and came to a stop at another pedestrian crossing.
