Deutsche man in Hong Kong crash
BRITISH trader Robert Ebert was arrested in Hong Kong yesterday after his £380,000 Ferrari supercar was involved in a crash that killed a 53-year-old security guard.
Ebert, head of Asian equities trading for Deutsche Bank, was held on suspicion of dangerous driving and causing death but was later bailed without charge.
Police said the accident happened on Tuesday at a car park near Deutsche’s Hong Kong office.
Police said a 53-year-old man, who was next to the barriers, died after suffering serious head and shoulder injuries. He was pronounced dead in the hospital early in the afternoon.
The Apple Daily newspaper identified the driver as Ebert and said his car collided with a Maserati at the car park entrance before hitting a security guard. The authorities will investigate the speed at which the Ferrari was travelling when the crash occurred.
