Woman Violently Flies Across Road As Typhoon Saola Rips Through Hong Kong

Typhoon Saola Violently Slams Hong Kong Woman Facefirst Onto Road With High Winds

Typhoon Saola smashed its way through Hong Kong on Saturday (2 Sep).

Among the victims of its windy night was an unfortunate Hong Kong woman.

She was caught on video being violently slammed facefirst into a road by the high winds.

The video also showed rain and winds straining trees and soaking deserted footpaths.

Woman sent faceplanting in Typhoon Saola

Typhoon Saola drove Hong Kong to issue its highest T10 warning, only the 16th time since World War II.

Thankfully, the storm weakened into a tropical depression as it passed over the city.

Even so, millions sheltered indoors as ominous grey clouds swept overhead.

A viral video allegedly showed the consequences of not doing so. The OP, filming a road, is suddenly greeted by a woman suddenly flying into frame on the right.

She loses her balance in the high winds and wet floors and violently slams onto the road facefirst.

 

Her momentum and the low friction of the wet ground then sends her sliding and scraping across the road for a few more metres.
