Vincent Wong (王浩信) was taken to the hospital following a car crash on the set of TVB drama, Fatal Resurrection <致命復活> in Tuen Mun. Vincent, along with his costar Roger Kwok (郭晉安), was shooting an action scene involving a car chase. Vincent lost control of his car and crashed into a larger vehicle. When the staff helped him out of the crash site, Vincent’s forehead and hands were bleeding. Although Vincent looked dazed, he felt well enough to walk into the ambulance himself. However, he had to be supported by the paramedics. He told the reporters that he felt really dizzy. Vincent arrived to the Tuen Mun Hospital moments later. Though he said he still felt dizzy while lying on the hospital bed, he was clear-headed and recalled the crash in excruciating detail. His left brow ridge and forehead were taped with gauze. His right index finger was also bandaged. He said, “My head still hurts. They will do a CT scan on me later to see if my brain is alright. I’m pretty sure that I’m okay. The doctor said there’s a minor cut on my left eyelid. Everything happened so suddenly so I’m not sure where I got hit in the head, but I do know that it’s very swollen now.” The actor expressed his concerns about impeding the filming schedule for Fatal Resurrection, and also said he felt awful for worrying his family. However, he did immediately call his mother and his wife, actress Yoyo Chen (陳自瑤), after the incident to tell them that he is safe. Later CT scans indicated that Vincent’s head injury was minor; there was no bleeding nor skull fractures. However, he would have to remain in the hospital for a few more days to wait for the swelling in his forehead to go down. “I’m okay,” said Vincent. “I hope to get well soon. I don’t want to cause so much worry. I’ve never experienced a car accident before, whether in real life or in filming. Fortunately I’m not as injured as I thought I was.” “Right now our priority is Vincent Wong’s health,” said Fatal Resurrection producer Lam Chi-wah (林志華) when he was asked if the accident had seriously hindered the drama’s filming schedule. “We’ll see what happens after his report comes in. Vincent is a very responsible person. He is very worried about the filming schedule, but his health comes first.” Mentioning that the drama would be shooting in Vietnam in March, Lam Chi-wah pointed out that the crew would consider Vincent’s health first before proceeding to any change of plans.

Glad he seems to be ok. Do they not have airbags in those cars? Even though I know it's for filming you would think they would leave the safety features intact. Seeing the damage, the airbags would have definitely inflated.
LOL... Blood on the right side of his forehead in one picture, then another picture shows dressing on the left side of his forehead. Like, da-uh... hoax...
I always thought high speed car chase of any sort in dramas were camera effects/video effects just because of safety issues. Even if so, if it's a stationary bigger vehicle (like a cement wall, something immovable) I imagine even going at a very slow speed could do significant damage.
