Nine vehicles damaged after wooden pallets and stones block North Lantau Highway

Nine vehicles were damaged early this morning after striking wooden pallets and stones left scattered across the North Lantau Highway near Ying Tung Estate.

Police received multiple reports at 4.39am regarding the road obstruction.

Affected vehicles, including taxis, private cars, and light goods trucks, were forced to pull over to the hard shoulder after sustaining flat tires or mechanical damage from the debris.

No injuries were reported, and police are investigating the incident as a case of vehicle breakdown and obstruction on road.

Dashcam footage circulating online captures the hazardous scene as large wooden pallets and stones litter the carriageway.

The driver behind the camera is heard shouting expletives in shock before hitting the obstacles, causing the vehicle to jolt violently and forcing it to a halt on the hard shoulder, where several other damaged vehicles had already parked.
