Four taxi passengers escaped injury after their driver lost consciousness at the wheel on a Hong Kong highway, leaving them struggling to control the vehicle before it hit a road divider.
Dashcam footage circulating online on Monday captured the incident.
It showed the 66-year-old driver slumped unconscious behind the wheel as a male passenger in the front seat and three women in the back desperately try to rouse him.
The taxi was travelling eastbound on Ching Cheung Road near Nob Hill at about noon when the driver suddenly passed out.
