Hong Kong driver and passenger narrowly avoid death

The driver of a luxury sports car and his passenger narrowly avoided death when their vehicle crashed into a lamp post and split almost in half on a Hong Kong road just before noon on Saturday.

An online video shows the Black Lotus Exige driving along Pok Yin Road in Tai Po district at 11.16am when it swerves to the left and bumps into a roadside planter, which sends the vehicle into the air before it slams lengthwise into the lamp post.
