New Delhi, Oct. 22 -- Hong Kong on Tuesday reopened the runway where a cargo aircraft crashed and plunged into the sea the previous day, but said it won't be used regularly until the wreckage was cleared.

The Boeing 747 flown by Turkey-based ACT Airlines flight from Dubai skidded to the left after landing early Monday and collided with a patrol car, causing both the aircraft and the car to plunge into the sea. Two workers in the car were killed. The four crew members on the plane had no apparent injuries.

The U.S. National Transport Safety Board was sending five investigators to Hong Kong to assist the probe by the city's air accident investigation authority, the U.S. agency posted on X on late Tuesday.
