A cargo plane has skidded off a runway at Hong Kong International Airport and landed in the sea, killing two ground staff.

Emirates flight EK9788 was arriving from Dubai when it veered off the runway and collided with an airport patrol vehicle.

The vehicle's two passengers have died, while four crew members onboard the plane have survived the crash.

It marks one of Hong Kong's deadliest aviation incidents in years.

The city's international airport has had a good safety record.

Authorities have launched an investigation as questions remain over the path taken by the plane upon landing.

Airport officials have said they gave the correct instructions to the cargo plane and that there are signs on the runway to guide planes.
