The driver of the minibus surnamed Huang said that at around 8:10 p.m., he was driving an empty minibus from Wong Tai Sin to Mong Kok. 10 kilometers per hour, I did not expect the private car to pass successfully, and the minibus sank into the ground hole. Fortunately, the speed of the car was slow and it was just "falling, Deng Yideng". I was not injured, but it is estimated that the front of the minibus was immersed in salt water. May be affected.
The Transport Department said at 9:00 p.m. that due to a burst water pipe, the entire section of Tung Tau Village Road (in both directions) between Fung Mo Street and Tung Ching Road has been closed.
Motorists may use other roads.
Currently the site is busy with traffic.
