A taxi driver has died after losing control of his vehicle in Wong Tai Sin on Friday evening.

Police say the 57-year-old appears to have collapsed while driving his taxi along Lung Cheung Road.

As he approached a slip road at around 11pm, the taxi suddenly rammed into barriers and then a slope.

The man was declared dead about an hour later, after being rushed unconscious to Caritas Medical Centre.

Police are appealing for witnesses.
