San Tin Highway in Yuen Long saw two traffic accidents within an hour last night.
After an initial car crash, a multi-vehicle pile-up happened amid the ensuing traffic, resulting in one death and 16 injuries.
The first accident happened at around 10 p.m. on Wednesday, when two private cars and a taxi travelling toward Sheung Shui collided near Chuk Yuen Village.
Eight people sustained minor injuries. Traffic in the area became congested.
About 45 minutes later, a green minibus travelling in the middle lane approached the tail end of the traffic queue and allegedly failed to brake in time.
It crashed into a truck ahead, which was pushed forward into two other vehicles, while another truck in an adjacent lane was also affected.
The minibus -- mangled at the front, with debris scattered across the road.
Its 49-year-old driver trapped inside was extricated -- and rushed to hospital.
He was later certified dead.
A driver said traffic had been at a standstill for around a few minutes before the collision unfolded.
Seven men and one woman are among the injured, including minibus passengers and those in other vehicles.
More investigations are underway.
