Driver dies after Tesla collides with 2 cars on Hong Kong expressway

A driver lost his life after a Tesla collided with two other vehicles on Hong Kong's Island Eastern Corridor. Emergency services were alerted to the crash on Saturday morning at 10:37 AM. The police reported that one individual in a private vehicle suffered severe injuries and was rushed to Ruttonjee Hospital in Wan Chai, where they later pronounced him dead at 12:08 PM.

It is unclear which of the drivers passed away. The incident is still under investigation. Dashcam footage showed a black Tesla veering across lanes before the collision, which involved a white seven-seater and another white car that fled the scene without stopping. Both vehicles had their airbags deployed, while the seven-seater's right side sustained significant damage.

Due to the accident, part of the Central-bound lanes of the Island East Corridor near North Point Ferry Pier were temporarily closed for traffic.
