Hong Kong police have arrested a driver who crashed his car into a parked vehicle in Tai Kok Tsui and tested positive for ketamine, marking at least the fourth suspected drug-driving case in less than a week.
The accident occurred at around noon on Sunday on Hoi Fai Road outside the Olympian City 3 shopping centre where the 30-year-old’s Tesla car struck the rear of a stationary vehicle before veering onto the pavement.
The male driver of the parked car, also a Tesla, suffered neck injuries and was taken to hospital by ambulance.
