SCMP has video of a wicked traffic accident in Hong Kong’s Central on Wednesday, reportedly on Garden Road. A blue truck carrying construction waste, for whatever reason, races around a bend, cutting off one car and ramming another before face-planting into a barricade and coming to a stop. Eight cars were damaged, including two Mercedes-Benzes. Two people were sent to the hospital.
It made me want to attach a song to it, so I went ahead and did that, a la the Traffic Light series. The song is “Hillbilly” by the Shan Ren Band (“Mountain Men,” i.e. Hillbilly; incredibly, the band doesn’t have an official English name).

And the insistence the lorry driver was a Mainlander begin in 3…, 2…, 1…
That’s on Garden Road (花園道) right at the junction with (上亞厘畢道 (Upper Albert road, near 聖若瑟堂 (St. Joseph’s Church).
Great choice of song and band, by the way.
