On impact, the motorcycle rammed into a kerb and its driver fell from the flyover onto the ground near Bute Street.

 

The 27-year-old motorcyclist sustained injuries to his neck and was rushed to Kwong Wah Hospital where he was certified dead at 3.45am.

 

Two women inside the car, aged 26 and 31, were also injured.

 

Police arrested the driver of the car, a 27-year-old woman, for drink driving. Traffic Kowloon West's Special Investigation Team is investigating.
