Police are investigating a traffic accident on Tuen Mun Road in which a 63-year-old driver was killed.

The truck he was driving reportedly struck roadworks near Sea Crest Villa about 6.20pm today.

He was sent to Yan Chai Hospital and later died.

Witnesses should call Police on 3661 1300.

Police and Department of Health officers arrested a 41-year-old woman for the illegal sale and possession of a Part I poison and unregistered pharmaceutical products, during a raid today on a Fo Tan shop.

They found three unregistered pharmaceutical products being displayed for sale. They comprised two over-the-counter medicines, Country Life Maxi-Hair (labelled as containing vitamins), Now Turmeric & Bromelain (labelled as containing digestive enzymes), and a product known as Primaforce Yohimbine HCl (labelled as containing Yohimbine, a Part I poison).

Hong Kong pharmaceutical product registration numbers were not found on any of their labels.

The products were imported.

Yohimbine was sometimes used in the treatment of orthostatic hypotension. Side effects include anxiety, manic reactions, and increased heart rate. Products containing Yohimbine can only be sold in a pharmacy under the supervision of a registered pharmacist.

The department urged the public not to buy and use unregistered pharmaceutical products, as they have not been evaluated by the Pharmacy & Poisons Board, and their safety, quality, and efficacy are not guaranteed.

People taking the product are advised to consult healthcare professionals.
