A driver was struck and killed by a lift truck while parking near Hong Kong's Tai Lam Tunnel in the early hours of Monday, causing the New Territories border crossing to be partially closed during rush hour.

According to the Transport Department, the Kowloon-bound lanes of the Pat Heung Tunnel were closed at 8 am. A one-tube, two-way traffic arrangement has been implemented and motorists are advised to drive through the area with "extreme care and patience".
At around 6:30 in the morning, two private cars collided about 50 meters away from the entrance of the tunnel when they passed the toll booth towards Kowloon.
Both vehicles pulled into the stop and the drivers got out to assess the situation. One of them was hit by an oncoming crane truck.
