HONG KONG: Hong Kong authorities on Tuesday were preparing to reopen the runway where a cargo aircraft crashed a day ago, but said it would remain out of regular use until wreckage from the accident was fully cleared. The Boeing 747 flown by Turkiye-based ACT Airlines flight from Dubai skidded off to the left after landing in the early hours of Monday and collided with a patrol car, causing both to fall into the sea. Two workers in the car were found dead, while four crew members on the plane had no apparent injuries.

The Emirates flight reportedly hit a vehicle one the ground as it came into land at the international airport.

The northern runway at the airport was closed after the incident, Hong Kong International Airport said
