Ten people have been injured in a crash involving a truck and a bus outside a shopping centre in Hong Kong’s Kwun Tong.
Police said they received a report of the crash in Sau Mau Ping at about 6.20am on Tuesday, where a light goods vehicle collided with a KMB double-decker bus, leaving eight passengers and the two drivers with mild injuries.
The collision occurred outside Po Tat Shopping Centre on Po Lam Road, the force said.
According to KMB, the bus was involved in a traffic accident at 6am on Tuesday morning.
“Investigations indicate that the bus was passing through the junction on a green signal, while the truck made a right turn from the opposite lane and allegedly ran a red light. KMB will fully cooperate with the police investigation,” the company said.
The two drivers, aged 33 and 39, both passed breathalyser tests with zero readings, police said. The 10 injured people were taken to United Christian Hospital for treatment.
