He also said the case has just been reported to the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, which is now trying to locate the woman’s employer.

No report has been made to the Consulate regarding the man, so it is not known if he is a resident or a domestic worker.

While the police say they are still investigating the case, Consul Saret reminded everyone in the community to take care when crossing streets in Central, particularly Des Voeux Road, where several traffic accidents involving Filipinos have been reported over the year.

“Please only cross at the designated pedestrian crossings, and only when the light is green,” Consul Saret says. “A lot of these accidents happened because our compatriots were jaywalking.”

Just two Sundays ago, a Filipino man, apparently drunk, was also knocked down by a bus near the exact place where this latest  incident happened.

Police record shows KMB busno111 was traveling west at about 11:57pm when it hit the two victims at no 19 Des Vouex Road Central, the address of WorldWide House.

Bystanders called the police, and they came along with paramedics.

The incident caused some confusion earlier, as a Filipina DH took videos of another woman being loaded onto an ambulance at about 1:10pm earlier Sunday. 

Police later said they did not have information on this incident, even though the video shows officers were around taking information from bystanders.

Two Filipinas are shown on a separate video loading stuff onto a black backpack apparently belonging to the woman victim, and turning it over to officers. It is not clear if they were the woman’s companions.

In the later incident, both victims were taken to Queen Mary Hospital while the 58-year-old driver surnamed Yeung was held for questioning. 

Police denied issuing any statement that the driver had lost control of the vehicle. The spokeswoman said their investigation is ongoing.

Other reports said the impact of the crash was so severe the left side of the bus’ windshield was shattered. The vehicle had to be towed away from the scene for inspection.
