British chef killed in Hong Kong road accident
Two chefs from Heston Blumenthal’s Michelin-starred restaurant The Fat Duck were killed yesterday in a major Hong Kong road accident in which three died and 56 others were injured.
Named as British chef Ivan Aranto Herrera Jorge, 34, and Carl Magnus Lindgren, 30, of Sweden – the two died after a bus driver collapsed and lost control of his vehicle. Their taxi driver was also killed.
The men were said to have been in the city to open a new restaurant and were involved in a three-vehicle pile-up after a bus careered down a hill.
A further 18 people are still in hospital.
A spokesman for the restaurant said: "We can confirm two members of our team were tragically killed in a car accident. They were both senior members and great and dear friends.
"(They were) two uniquely talented young chefs that were loved by everyone who worked with them."
