The driver of a goods truck lost control of his vehicle in Hong Kong’s Central Kowloon Bypass on Friday morning, causing two prefabricated housing components to fall onto the road and leading to lane closures.
Police said they received a report about the accident at 9.44am on Friday.
Two housing components fell from the truck onto the ground, with no deaths or injuries reported, according to the force.
A video circulating online appears to show the medium goods vehicle facing the wrong direction and blocking two lanes, with debris scattered on the ground and the bypass wall damaged.
The Transport Department said a few lanes of the Central Kowloon Bypass (Yau Ma Tei Section) remained closed to all vehicles after the accident. Traffic was congested, with only one lane available to motorists.
The Yau Ma Tei section of the Central Kowloon Bypass opened last December, cutting peak-hour travel time between West and East Kowloon from 30 minutes to just five.
