A freighter aircraft which landed at Hong Kong International Airport on Sunday, collided with a ground patrol vehicle killing two airport staff members, before coming to rest in shallow water near a seawall.

Airport fire and rescue crews reached the scene within minutes and helped the crew evacuate through the upper deck hatch.

An investigation has been opened by the Hong Kong Civi Aviation Department, we understand the plane had previously taken off from Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport.
