Colman Wong Chiu-ching, vice-president of the Hong Kong Construction Association, also handed two-year ban and fined for traffic sign crash
A Hong Kong construction industry leader has been sentenced to 240 hours of community service and fined HK$1,500 (US$192) for crashing his car into a traffic sign while driving under the influence of alcohol earlier this year.
Eastern Court on Friday also disqualified Colman Wong Chiu-ching from driving for two years after he pleaded guilty to two charges arising from a traffic accident on southern Hong Kong Island.
Wong is the general manager at the Hong Kong office of Leighton Contractors (Asia), and is one of six vice-presidents of Hong Kong Construction Association, which represents more than 300 companies in the sector.
The 52-year-old was driving along the westbound lane of Repulse Bay Road when he lost control of his private car and hit a road sign at around 1.40am on May 31, according to a prosecution summary of the case.
