At least 53 people, including 16 South Korean tourists, were injured when a bus collided with another on a road in Hong Kong, according to China’s state news agency Tuesday.
The accident took place around 3:30 p.m. Monday on the road near Deep Water Bay, located on the southern side of Hong Kong Island, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Seventeen of the 53 people suffered “relatively severe injuries” that were not life-threatening, according to the report.
The injured have been treated at nearby hospitals.
The cause of the accident was not immediately clear, but the driver of a bus carrying Chinese passengers collided with a bus carrying the South Korean tourists while apparently trying to avoid another vehicle, according to media reports. (Yonhap)
