More than 20 people were injured in a traffic accident involving two public buses and a truck in Hong Kong’s New Territories, temporarily closing an arterial road on Thursday morning.
A minibus, a double-decker bus and a truck collided on Fanling Highway at around 8am, trapping the minibus driver, who was later rescued by firefighters.
Photos from the scene show the front of the Route 44A minibus, which plies between Sheung Shui and Tuen Mun, severely crushed.
