SCORES INJURED IN HONG KONG FERRARI ACCIDENT
At least 124 people were injured when a high-speed ferry travelling to Hong
Kong from Macau hit an object in the water.
The ferry, with 174 passengers and crew on board, lost power close to
Lantau island, at about 18:00 local time (10:00GMT) and began taking on
water, official told the BBC.
Marine police boats were sent to rescue the passengers, with local media
saying many had injuries to limbs and faces.
Some passengers waited on board to be rescued for several hours.
“The lights suddenly went out. It was chaotic at first but then the
passengers managed to calm down soon,” one passenger told the South
China Morning Post.
