Two people were killed in Hong Kong on Monday after a cargo plane hit a ground vehicle while trying to land and skidded off the runway into the sea.

The Emirates airlines plane had flown in to Hong Kong international airport from Dubai at about 4am, when it veered off the runway and crashed through a fence, according to airport officials. It then collided with the security patrol car, taking the vehicle with it as it ditched into the sea.
