A photograph posted online showed the luxury saloon squeezed between the two KMB double-deckers on the two-lane carriageway on Nathan Road in Mong Kok.

Passers-by paused and stepped out into the blocked road to take photos of the drama on their mobile phones.

The crash happened in the Sham Shui Po-bound lanes of Nathan Road near the T.O.P. shopping centre in Mong Kok just before 6pm.

A police spokesman said no one was injured in the incident, but traffic flow on a section of Nathan Road was affected.

He said officers from the Kowloon West traffic unit were investigating the crash and that no arrests had been made.
