Two taxis and a private car have collided on Hong Kong’s Shenzhen Bay Bridge, injuring four people and resulting in the partial closure of a slip road leading to the nearby land border crossing.
A police spokesman said officers were alerted at 2.36pm on Sunday about the crash, which caused the private car to overturn, leaving four people, including the two taxi drivers, injured.
“All four injured persons suffered from minor injuries, such as abrasions,” the spokesman said. It was unclear which hospital the four had been sent to.

The accident caused a massive jam on the Shenzhen Bay Bridge near Tuen Mun – a key passage leading to the Shenzhen Bay border checkpoint.
The Transport Department issued a notice at 4.09pm that all lanes of a slip road leading to the Shenzhen Bay Boundary Control Point from the bridge had been closed due to the accident. The road was partially reopened before 5pm.
