A 44-year-old driver who locked himself and burned charcoal in his car at Pat Sin Leng Country Park was sent to hospital after he was rescued by a hiker who shattered the window with a rock. The suicide attempt was discovered by the hiker around 7am Saturday on Hok Tau Road, who found the driver surnamed Liu lying on his seat unconsciously in his black Mercedes-Benz. Suspecting Liu was trying to kill himself, the hiker shattered the back seat window by the left with a rock and filed a report to the police. Liu later regained consciousness after he was rescued by paramedics and sent to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital. It was understood that Liu attempted suicide because of financial problems.
