Hong Kong police arrest 2 over dangerous driving at school crossing
- Police suspect 28-year-old man, a learner driver, was behind wheel when car ignored instructions from school traffic marshal and sped past
The force said on Friday the clip showed the white car was travelling along On Tin Street outside a primary school in Lam Tin at around 8.16am on Monday.
“As the car approached a zebra crossing, it failed to comply with the instruction given by a school traffic marshal to stop,” police said. “It went across the zebra crossing at high speed, driving past the traffic marshal and left the scene. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.”
Dashcam video circulating online shows the traffic marshal on the zebra crossing, wearing an orange reflective vest and holding the stop sign.
In the clip, the speeding car passes within a short distance of the traffic marshal before a boy steps onto the crossing.
Officers from the Kowloon East traffic unit launched an investigation after the video was posted online.
