Hong Kong police searching for driver on the run after hitting railing and bus
Dashcam footage online shows black car in Tuen Mun attempting to cut across three lanes before crashing, startling pedestrian on nearby pavement
Hong Kong police are searching for a driver who fled the scene after crashing a car into a barricade and hitting a bus on Saturday.
The force said it received a report at about 9.20am that a car had crashed into a roadside railing along Pui To Road in Tuen Mun. During the incident the car also made contact with a bus that had stopped at a traffic light along the same road.
The driver then got out of the vehicle and fled, police said, adding that no injuries were reported. It was not immediately clear how many passengers were on board the bus at the time of the accident.
Dashcam footage circulating online shows a black car attempting to cut across two lanes before losing control and crashing into the section of railing. The force of the crash then appears to thrust the vehicle bank onto the road, hitting the back end of the bus.
A resident can be seen walking along the pavement, appearing momentarily startled when the car crashes in front of them.
