According to the photos on the Internet, a white seven-seater vehicle was seen traveling against the direction of Tseung Kwan O Road towards Kwun Tong towards the direction of Tseung Kwan O Tunnel, and collided head-on with a taxi at the intersection opposite the Lam Tin Fire Station. The police said that they found the driver of the seven-seater car smelled of alcohol at the scene. After taking an alcohol breath test, the reading exceeded the standard. The 49-year-old male driver was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and dangerous driving.

From the photos, it is unknown where the driver started to reverse the lane, and the reason for the reverse lane, but even if the driver reversed the lane from outside the Kwun Tong Disciplined Forces dormitory, he walked about 300 meters.
