HONG KONG, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Two chefs from the famous British restaurant The Fat Duck were among the dead in a bus and car crash in Hong Kong, police said.
Carl Magnus Lindgren, 30, of Sweden and Ivan Aranto Herrera Jorge, 34, died along with their taxi driver when a double-decker bus careered out of control and struck their vehicle, the South China Morning Post of Hong Kong reported Wednesday.
The communications director for the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong where the men were staying said the chefs were on a promotional tour with other staffers from the Fat Duck including owner Heston Blumenthal.
Hong Kong police said in addition to the three deaths, 56 people were injured in the Monday morning accident including a baby and a 90-year-old, CNN reported.
The driver of the bus was arrested and later released after posting $645 bail, a police spokesman said.
An investigation is underway into the cause of the accident.
Video footage on the bus showed the driver fainted before the crash, the Morning Post said.
