At 4:39 am today (Nov. 10), police received multiple reports that wooden boards, rocks, and other obstacles had appeared on the road surface of North Lantau Highway near Ying Tung Estate in Tung Chung. About nine vehicles at the scene, including taxis, private cars, and light goods vehicles, are suspected to have suffered flat tyres or mechanical damage after driving over the obstacles and had to pull over to the hard shoulder. After investigating at the scene, police confirmed no one was injured and classified the incident as broken-down vehicles with objects obstructing the road.
Dashcam footage circulating online shows multiple large wooden pallets and rocks scattered across the road at the time. When the driver who recorded the footage passed through, the vehicle shook violently, and they ultimately had to slow down and stop on the hard shoulder. The footage also shows several vehicles already parked on the shoulder ahead, apparently similarly affected.
