Fatal cycling accidents in Hong Kong more than double in first half of 2026
Fatal cycling accidents in Hong Kong have more than doubled in the first half of 2026, with nine deaths recorded, according to a report by the South China Morning Post. The increase comes as police attribute the rise to cyclists ignoring traffic signals and road signs. Overall, there were 59 fatal traffic accidents in the first six months of the year, killing 63 people, up more than 40 per cent from a year earlier.
The police have launched a cycling safety campaign to target high-risk behaviours and raise awareness of related laws and road safety.
