Six injured in Reservoir pile-up

A private car that lost control collided with another vehicle running in the opposite direction near the Reservoir on Avenida da Amizade last Friday, resulting a small pile-up after its rear-end was subsequently hit by a taxi.
The six injured individuals, aged between 29 and 74, were discharged from the hospital and all three drivers passed a breathalyzer test. The accident, which took place at around 1p.m., stopped traffic in the cordoned-off area, where one of the involved vehicles was left sitting on its side on one lane.
According to investigators, the  vehicle running towards the bend of the reservoir lost control before crashing into another coming from the opposite direction in another lane. The pile-up caused minor injuries to the drivers and passengers, four locals and two Hong Kong visitors.
“They were not trapped when we arrived at the scene.  They were slightly injured and were conscious.  We used 3 ambulances to send them to the government hospital,” said Tsang Vai Pong from the fire service, whose firemen were scrambling to remove the grease which had leaked onto the surface of the road.
