(Video) Man relaxes on busy road in Yuen Long, causing disruption

A video that surfaced online on Thursday shows a man causing disruptions by lying down in a traffic lane on Castle Peak Road in Yuen Long. The footage, 29 seconds long, has sparked considerable online discussions.

In the video, the man is seen lying near Pok Oi Hospital, dressed in a blue jacket and a baseball cap. His leg appears to be injured as he is seen wearing a CAM walker, commonly referred to as a moon boot. He uses what looks like a backpack as a pillow, appears calm, and is seen gazing at the sky with arms folded.

The exact time of the recording was not specified by the uploader, but the presence of light from a street lamp with a dusky sky suggests it was taken in the evening.

Castle Peak Road is a busy route leading to Kam Tin and Sheung Shui and experiences heavy traffic. The presence of the man on the road forced drivers to swerve or change lanes abruptly, heightening the risk of accidents.

Online commentators have expressed concern over the man’s dangerous behavior, debating the potential legal implications for drivers in case of an accident. Some netizens have described the incident as part of an increasing trend of bizarre occurrences on the roads, while others commented on his fearlessness.
