Light Rail train service in Tuen Mun was disrupted with repair work under way on Tuesday afternoon after an extended arm on a crane truck damaged the MTR’s overhead power cables.
At 9.15pm Tuesday, repair work was completed and normal services resumed.
The crane knocked down two overhead cables along Tsing Lun Road near Kei Lun stop in Tuen Mun at about 3.45pm Tuesday, police said. The truck driver, 68, was unhurt.

The driver told police that he forgot to lower the extended arm after carrying out roadwork nearby, according to a police spokeswoman.
The MTR Corporation said the damaged overhead lines caused power failure in the district and at one point disrupted train services on eight Light Rail routes.

An MTR spokesman said the power failure directly affected three Light Rail stops – Kei Lun, Ching Chung and Kin Sang.
“Shortly before 4.30pm, only three Light Rail routes – 505, 615 and 615P – were still being affected and diverted,” the spokesman said.

The spokesman had earlier estimated the repair work would be completed by 10:30pm Tuesday, but he did not specify how many passengers had been affected.
Free shuttle bus service was at present running between Siu Hong and Leung King bus stops to transport affected passengers.
