The vehicle was reportedly travelling westbound on the road before ploughing into pedestrians.

"When approaching the junction of Jordan Road and Shanghai Street, the private car reportedly went out of control and knocked down three pedestrians after running onto the pavement," a police statement read.

The three were rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

One of them, an elderly person who was found unconscious, was pronounced dead after sustaining multiple serious injuries.

The driver, 42, reported feeling unwell and was sent to Kwong Wah Hospital, officers added.
