A rare car accident occurred in Tsuen Wan.

A four-axle dump truck was driving along Texaco Road North towards Tsing Yi at 11 p.m. on March 7. When it was on the way to Guanmenkou Village, the mud bucket of the truck rose somehow, and the front of the bucket was raised. The edge shook to the bottom of the pedestrian overpass.

The driver of the dump truck stopped immediately and stopped about 10 meters later. However, the mud bucket fell backward due to a violent impact. The tail of the mud bucket scratched a flower mark about 10 meters long on the road surface.

When other drivers saw this, they feared that the driver of the dump truck would be trapped and reported the incident on their behalf.

A large number of rescuers rushed to the scene and learned that the driver had only minor injuries to his waist.

As for the footbridge involved, it was violently hit and cracked. A long crack was left on the bridge deck. The left and right sides of the bridge were staggered and shifted by as much as 2 inches.

The police immediately closed the two traffic lanes on the site, and the footbridge was also closed at the same time.

After receiving the report, the Highways Department staff rushed to the scene to inspect the bridge body.

The police conducted an alcohol breath test on the driver involved, but failed to pass and arrested him on suspicion of "driving under the influence".

According to sources, someone recorded an alcohol test as high as 49 degrees.

As the driver injured his waist after the accident, he was sent to the hospital by ambulance for examination later.

The police are investigating the incident, including whether the mud bucket was raised while driving due to a malfunction, or whether someone forgot to close the bucket before accidentally driving.

After receiving the notice, the owner of the dump truck rushed to the scene to assist in the investigation. It is reported that the driver of the dump truck is usually "followed" by the driver. However, the owner said that the driver did not arrange for the driver to leave the car at the time of the incident. Drive at that place at this time.

It does not rule out that someone uses it as a private car in private.

Police said that the scene was northbound on Texaco Road in Tsuen Wan near Guo Shui Road.

At 11:26 pm on March 7, the police received a report stating that a heavy goods vehicle was driving along Texaco Road towards Tsing Yi. When reaching the upper site, its mud bucket was suspected to hit the bottom of the pedestrian overpass.
