  "account": "A man in his sixties has tragically passed away following a collision with a bus in Hong Kong's North Point area. The incident occurred at the intersection of King's Road and Tin Chong Street around 8:17am. Upon receiving a report from a Citybus driver, police and ambulance services promptly arrived at the scene. The victim was found to be severely injured, suffering from significant head trauma, and was unconscious. He was swiftly transported to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital in Chai Wan, where medical professionals were unable to revive him. He was pronounced dead at 8:54am.\n\nThe investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident is currently underway. The Citybus involved in the incident was en route on Route 38, traveling between Chi Fu Fa Yuen and the North Point Ferry Pier. Images taken at the scene revealed substantial cracks on the left side of the bus's windscreen, likely a result of the impact. Following the collision, all lanes designated for Chai Wan-bound traffic on King's Road near Tin Chong Street were temporarily blocked off, but normal traffic has now been restored. The South China Morning Post has reached out to Citybus for further comment on the matter.",
