Hong Kong, August 20, 2024 - A multi-vehicle accident on Tolo Highway in Hong Kong has left two drivers with minor injuries. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening around 6:32 PM near Care Village, where four private cars were traveling towards Kowloon.
The collision resulted in a pileup, with three vehicles heavily damaged and stacked on top of each other. A black seven-seater vehicle was seen with its rear end wedged into the front of a red car, which in turn was resting on the front of a white car, leaving the white car's rear wheels off the ground.
The Transport Department reported that a portion of the Kowloon-bound lanes on Tolo Highway near Care Village were closed due to the accident. Motorists were advised to use the remaining lanes, but traffic has since returned to normal.
Emergency services were promptly dispatched to the scene, and two drivers sustained minor injuries. The cause of the accident is under investigation, but the heavy damage to the vehicles suggests a high-speed collision.
Tolo Highway is a major thoroughfare connecting the New Territories to Kowloon, and incidents like this can cause significant disruptions to traffic flow. Authorities are urging drivers to exercise caution, maintain safe following distances, and be vigilant when navigating this stretch of road, especially during peak hours.
