My car is on the news
 
Happened this morning. Taxi ran a red light, hit rear 1/4 panel and flipped.
Got to love Toyota safety, curtain airbags came out, only minor scratch and bruises.

Wow. Where in HK was this? Glad you are okay.

I'm amazed by how few accidents happen here considering how aggressively everyone drives. In fact, your picture is the first accident I have seen while I am here.

Mongkok near Langham Place.
Driver needs minor surgery though, but no one was seriously harmed.

Taxi driver claimed he did not have enough sleep. =/

glad you're ok OP, wish the driver a speedy recovery!

Is that where you live?

Could have chilled with you last week... was staying at Pop Hotel a few blocks from Langham Place.

Is that a Toyota Hi-Ace?

I am out of word.

kyoshiro 04-13-2011 11:04 AM

dont think its a Hi-Ace, probably Vellfire or Alphard
but yeah glad everyones ok and hope for speedy recovery to the driver

HondaGuy 04-13-2011 11:09 AM

Glad to hear you're ok, if that was your car.

Mongkok has some tight roads in certain streets, ppl always j-walking, and cars speeding through when the stores arent open yet in early morning.

Hope you werent hurt much!

IIRC most JDM vans flip in side impact crash test, Looks like car did it's job to protect the occupants though

asian_XL 04-13-2011 06:39 PM

kyoshiro 04-13-2011 06:43 PM

mmm a previa
but yeah JDM vans in general are actually quite tall with not a very firm suspension for ride comfort.

Death2Theft 04-13-2011 07:18 PM

Tall + narrow wheel base = flip.

twitchyzero 04-13-2011 07:20 PM

it's okay just ask hyde for a new m3 and you'll have it delivered to you in 48 hours.
