HONG KONG: A bridge in Hong Kong was almost brought crashing down on Saturday when a truck driver who had forgotten to lower the crane on his vehicle smashed into the structure. Miraculously, no one was injured in the bizarre accident in Chai Wan on Hong Kong Island, but the driver was sent to hospital for a check-up. The truck hit the bridge as it passed under it on Chai Wan Road at around 5pm, bending the elevated walkway completely out of shape. The crane and truck were left wedged into the structure, with the vehicle locked in position, its front facing the sky. Under the city’s Road Traffic Regulations, the height of a crane truck on the road must not exceed 4.6 metres.
