It may be easy to laugh when the police get a little overzealous about pedestrian safety, but videos like this are all too sobering.
A private car was driving in Jordan, near the intersection of Austin Road and Parkes Street, when it hit a kid who ran into the traffic, reports Oriental Daily. The driver screams, the passenger screams, and the kid goes flying, doing a 360 spin in the air before landing on his side.
He immediately sits up, but seems either too hurt or too shocked to stand.
The collision was captured on the car’s dashcam, and the video naturally found its way onto the interwebz on Wednesday, and was shared widely by Hong Kong netizens.
Some suggested that the government use the clip to educate the public about the importance of following traffic rules and avoiding a dumb, dumb death.
