Yesterday afternoon (17/3), a traffic accident caused traffic delays on Hiram’s Highway in Sai Kung. Around 2:20 pm a van belonging to DHL logistics company crashed into a lamppost near the Four Seas Group Building. The driver was initially trapped inside the vehicle and suffered a leg injury. He was later taken to Tseung Kwan O Hospital by ambulance for treatment.

Online dashcam footage shows the DHL van travelling straight along the road when it suddenly veered right, crossed the opposite lane, and crashed into a lamppost; fortunately, it did not collide head-on with oncoming traffic. At the scene, the right front of the van was dented, and the windshield was shattered.

Traffic along Hiram’s Highway was delayed until police cleared the scene about an hour later.
