As regards possible delays in evacuating injured persons, Mr.
Haddon-Cave said Mr. Szeto was probably referring to an accident which
occurred at 4.10 p.m. on May 1 in which a private bus collided with a
private car.
He said preliminary investigations showed that Kowloon Ambulance
Control received a call at 4.19 p.m. and that the injured were collected
and booked into hospital by 5 p.m. The tunnel re-opened to traffic at
4.58 p...
The unexplained delay of nine minutes between the time the accident
was logged in the Tunnel Control Centre and the time a call for an ambulance
was logged at Ambulance Control was now the subject of a department enquiry,
he said.
