The friend of the deceased criticized the man who blocked the road for acting as equivalent to murder, lamenting that the deceased was "too nice and sacrificed himself not to hit that officer". It is understood that the motorcycle involved in the accident was suspected to have not been properly "insured and licensed" only.

Customs officer taken to hospital with minor injuries. Customs: fully cooperate with investigation.

In response to inquiries from this newspaper, Customs confirmed that an off-duty customs officer was injured in a traffic accident and was taken to hospital. Customs will fully cooperate with the police investigation. After the accident, the 27-year-old motorcycle driver suffered serious injuries and his helmet flew off. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics who temporarily covered his body with a white cloth.

The police chased him for two rounds. The deceased lost control and hit the iron pole and a big tree.

The scene is Hong Kee Street, about 240 meters long, two lanes of one-way traffic, and another lane on the right for vehicles to park on and off passengers. The incident happened at about 5pm yesterday. A man in gray was standing in the middle of the lane, jumping left and right facing the motorcycle, suspected of attempting to block the motorcycle with a "human barricade". When the motorcycle approached at high speed, the man jumped up in time to turn around and dodge. The motorcycle passed by and he fell to the ground.

The motorcycle then lost control and violently hit the left sidewalk iron pole and a large tree. The traffic police iron horse also chased after it. The motorcycle involved overturned opposite the Central Mail Centre on Hong Kee Street and broke into two pieces. The front wheel and the head fork separated from the body. Police blocked some sidewalks and traffic lanes to collect evidence. The case was handed over to the East Kowloon Headquarters Traffic Department Special Investigation Team for follow-up. A 40-year-old male passerby (the man in gray) was suspected to have been hit by a motorcycle and injured in the incident.

Friend: Blocking a road is like "murder".

The girlfriend and the motorist of the deceased rushed to the scene after hearing the news. The girlfriend cried with sadness. Roy, a friend of the deceased, said the two were eating nearby before the accident. After the meal, they rode motorcycles for a drive nearby, during which a traffic police iron horse lit up a blue light, suspected to have stopped the deceased. Roy said the traffic policeman's instructions were unclear, there was no broadcast, and it was unclear whether the deceased intended to evade officers. Roy watched the video after the accident and harshly criticized the man in gray shirt standing out on the road as "murder". Roy said the deceased was traveling at about 60 to 70 kilometers per hour (the speed limit on the road section at the scene was 50 kilometers per hour), emphasizing that it was a "normal speed" and that the man in gray shirt would have "died" if he did not avoid it. Roy said that in the situation at that time, any motorcyclist would "fire" because motorcycles emphasize balance and sudden flashbacks are bound to get out of control.

Roy said the deceased had obtained his new driver’s license for over a year and had some driving experience and was “not a fast driver.” According to his understanding, the deceased had parents, a brother and a girlfriend, and was very gentle. Two days earlier, the two of them each took their girlfriends on a car ride, and the speed was not fast. Roy said the deceased usually made a living by speculating in "bitcoins and stocks". The motorcycle involved in the accident was newly purchased more than a month ago.

Why would the customs officer try to stop the iron horse like that? The rider didn't steel it.

Because it was not normally the custom to drive that fast. So the officer, who enforces customary conduct, wanted to admonish the rider for his rambunctiousness, in a stern, yet friendly manner.
Obviously, the rider was a miscreant!*

So, in other words, he was trying to direct him down the red lane?
