Taxi driver rescued after vehicle trapped in Shau Kei Wan flooding

A taxi driver was rescued after his vehicle became trapped in floodwaters in Shau Kei Wan on Wednesday, during the amber rainstorm warning.

The incident occurred at around noon on A Kung Ngam Road, where rising floodwater stranded the taxi. The driver climbed onto the roof of the vehicle to seek help before firefighters arrived and brought him to safety.

The Transport Department said a section of A Kung Ngam Road between Ming Wah Dai Ha and Chai Wan Road has been closed in both directions due to road subsidence.

Citybus route 85 has been diverted as a result of the closure.
