Hong Kong taxi driver, passenger escape serious injury after slamming into barriers, lamp post
Vehicle drifts between lanes on Lung Cheung Road in Wong Tai Sin, coming to stop after colliding with lamp post that snaps and falls
Dashcam footage showed the taxi switching lanes on the Kwun Tong-bound Lung Cheung Road in Wong Tai Sin before crashing at around midday on Thursday.
The taxi could be seen veering right on the three-lane road before drifting back to the left-hand side, colliding with the concrete barriers and continuing for a short distance before hitting a lamp post and coming to stop.
The lamp post snapped and fell, narrowly missing the vehicle recording the dashcam footage.
A police spokesman said the 61-year-old taxi driver had passed a breathalyser test and complained of chest pain. His passenger, a 29-year-old woman, suffered an injury to her nose.
