Hong Kong lawmaker William Wong Kam-fai is arrested on suspicion of drink-driving following an alleged crash on the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) campus. Multiple reports say the 66-year-old, who also works at CUHK as an engineering academic, was arrested after his vehicle allegedly hit two parked cars outside a residential or staff hall on campus. The incidents are reported to have occurred late Monday night, with one outlet citing an approximate time of 10:46pm and describing the crash as involving parked vehicles on university grounds.
The reports also say Wong faces additional allegations linked to the same incident, including careless driving and failing to stop and report after an accident. In parallel, one outlet reports that Wong did not inform the Legislative Council (Legco) about his arrest as required under the legislature’s code of conduct. That outlet says an internal investigation is expected, which could lead to penalties depending on Legco’s findings.
Overall, the accounts describe the arrest, the alleged circumstances of the collision, and the prospect of an internal Legco probe related to reporting requirements.
