So let me get this straight, to prevent street racers from causing an accident and injuring innocent bystanders, they formed a roadblock on the road using civilian vehicles, thereby injuring innocent bystanders.

Interesting.

My impression was that they had a roadblock with cars lined up one after the other, and they weren't intentionally lining the cars up side by side with the intention to block by force.

No, from the report, they said they used 2 police cars to block off the road and I guess the innocent civilian vehicles were blocked off too. The street racers tried to run the road block and hit the cars that were waiting ahead of the road block. I guess the police didn't really think they would try to run the road block and maybe would just stop when they saw there was no road ahead.

So basically, they blocked innocent people, trying to catch street racers they believed to be a danger to those innocent people. Yet, they failed to think that sandwiching the innocent people in between would be more dangerous.

Interesting.

yeah, street racers like them would most likely run the road block. The hwy is like 2-3 lanes,
a police minivan just couldn't block the entire road, so they are stupid enough to build up
barriers by stopping other cars, taxis and trucks.

Then 20 something vtecks arrived, smashed the cars like bowling pins at 100km/h+. LOL

now the cops are getting into troubles

I was on hwy 3 today earlier driving from Elements and I blew past a couple of cops in a black unmarked Passat in my 911. I passed the cops on the on-ramp corner at 110, then gunned it to 150 km/h to merge on the hwy. My friend following in a GTI started flashing at me. The cops started tail-gating me for awhile (i was driving at 90 at this point) and then gave up and passed.

we must be long lost brothers or something. i had absolutely no reaction to seeing the EP3 smashed up hahah... but when i saw the DC2 and EK9 my heart dropped a little

probably what she said: "wait!!! my LV!!! don't leave it in the car!"

i also noticed the pink trucker hat placed on the stretcher... such a typical well-beyond-played-out style for hongers...

just goes to show how ridiculous hk society is that the paramedics know how much the girl will value that bag/hat and will bring it along for the ride to the hospital (rather than risk getting bitched at about it later).

@ Twin Turbo Integra.

How do you outrun cops in HK? You're stuck on an island/peninsula for crying out loud.. Do they really think they're going to get away?

apparently a lot of them got away before...there are way too many places you can hide
your cars. Even they spot your license plate, it is easy to get away by saying you didn't
know your car was stolen

that chick was a passenger, probably the street racer's boyfriend, who ditched both the car and the gf inside the car injured. lol

it was one cop van that stopped a bunch of cars, but the cars were all facing the normal way as if they were driving down the highway, they werent sideways. there was space between the cars since the civilian cars and taxis didnt cover the areas where the lane dividers (the white lines) are.

about one car got thru the road block, the others lost control of their vTAK so they crashed into the civilian cars and taxis. The taxi drivers were in their cars when the ricers hit them.... stupid cops.

after the first 3 or 4 cars hit the road block, the others U turned into an off-ramp exit and hid around town.

the reason why they couldnt see the road block early and avoid it is because the cop made the road block where the highway is going downhill, and its right after a turn, and since there are the concrete dividers, you cant see far ahead in a low car in a turn. when they saw it, it was too late to stop.

most of the cars were found b/c they hid in the town and the town is so small that theres not much place to hide.

Taiwan is LHD. No Civic Type Rs were made in LHD. Or GTR for that matter.

That guy who crashed the civic with the gf inside might as well turn himself in. All the cops need are a bunch of people saying ____ is the chick's bf and bam, they got him. Totally weaksauce for not manning up either. I wouldn't exactly flee if I got my gf injured because of my own stupidity. So lame, hope she dumps him.
