Traffic halted as Kowloon City tree collapses on vehicles

A section of Prince Edward Road West was temporarily blocked off to traffic on Friday morning after a tree fell over, damaging three vehicles.

The incident occurred at around 7 am when a 10-meter-tall tree collapsed and landed on three vehicles, including a private car, a taxi, and a school bus.

The fallen tree occupied all Mong Kok-bound lanes of Prince Edward Road West.

Firefighters were called in shortly to handle the cleanup.

As of 11 am, the affected lanes were re-opened to all traffic. Affected bus routes have gradually resumed their original routeings.

No injuries were reported.
