Hong Kong driver dies after getting hit by crane truck while out of car near Tai Lam Tunnel


A driver was killed near Hong Kong’s Tai Lam Tunnel early on Monday morning after getting hit by a crane truck while his vehicle was parked at a lay-by, leading to the partial closure of the New Territories crossing during rush hour.

The Kowloon-bound lane of the tunnel in Pat Heung was closed off, according to the Transport Department at 8am. A one-tube, two-way traffic arrangement was implemented, with motorists advised to drive through the area with “utmost care and patience”.
