At about 11am that day, a private car driven by a 28-year-old man was travelling along Tai Po Road - Sha Tin Heights towards Kowloon. When approaching a petrol filling station on Tai Po Road - Sha Tin Heights, it reportedly rammed into a private car driven by a 54-year-old man inside the station, and the latter further knocked down the 52-year-old station staff.
