The driver of a cement mixer truck escaped serious injury on Wednesday when his vehicle toppled on its side in a tunnel in Hong Kong before the morning rush hour, disrupting traffic for more than five hours. The truck hit the kerb and tipped over on its left side soon after 7.30am, police said, causing the southbound carriageway of the Kai San Road underpass in San Po Kong to be closed to traffic. A police spokeswoman said the driver, 45, suffered arm and leg injuries and was taken conscious to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei for treatment. Separately, the driver of a tourist bus was arrested after the vehicle hit an 82-year-old man on Tung Sing Road, Aberdeen at about 8am.
