A car accident in Central.

At about 3:30 in the morning, it was reported that an empty taxi was traveling along Connaught Road Central towards Sheung Wan. When entering the flyover slip road of Connaught Road Central, it suddenly lost control and crashed into the dividing stone between the road and the flyover. It knocked down a road sign first, and then the taxi lost control and turned to the right, before stopping about 10 meters ahead.

The driver was trapped in the overturned carriage, and other drivers reported the incident on their behalf.

The firefighters arrived at the scene and saw the front "big screen" windshield of the taxi with a tool, and rescued the driver. He suffered a head injury, but he was still conscious and was taken to Queen Mary Hospital by ambulance for treatment.

The taxi was righted after the incident, and a trailer was arranged to be towed away later. It can be seen that the tire on the left side of the front of the taxi was punctured and the body on the right side was damaged.

The location of the bridge at the scene of the accident was closed for a time, and traffic was slightly affected.
