An ambulance is seen lying on its right side a short distance ahead of the damaged Volkswagen, while passers-by are seen around the ambulance's rear door as they try to free two paramedics reportedly trapped in the overturned vehicle.
At the time of the accident, the ambulance was on its way to respond to a medical incident and did not carry any patients.
Two paramedics and a 36-year-old male car passenger were taken conscious to hospital for minor injuries.
Hong Kong police told local media that they arrested a 36-year-old male car driver for suspected drink driving after he failed a breathalyser test.
Police investigations are ongoing.
