A police car collided with a private car in Western District. At 7:56 this morning (5th), a police car was driving along Connaught Road West towards Central. When it reached the junction of Eastern Street, it collided with a private car driving along Eastern Street. The front of the police car was damaged and oil leaked, and the left side of the private car was dented. Fortunately, no one was injured in the accident. The cause of the accident remains to be investigated, and it is initially not ruled out that some people did not follow the traffic lights and caused the accident.
In recent years, traffic accidents involving police cars have occurred frequently, and the daily training of traffic police officers, driving attitude, and police car maintenance and other issues have all raised alarm bells. On February 2 this year, when a traffic policeman was driving a motorcycle from Kwan Mun Mouth Street in Tsuen Wan to Castle Peak Road, he suspected that the tires had flipped and overturned. The scene of the incident was near the New Territories South Regional Police Headquarters. Netizens laughed and pointed out that the traffic police had “disappeared in front of the gate” and disgraced the police. A truck collided head-on. Fortunately, no citizens were injured. At that time, netizens also jokingly said, “I don’t want you to teach Sir if you go against the line.”
