A collision involving two school buses resulted in at least 14 injuries at a girls’ school in Hong Kong. The accident occurred at Good Hope Primary School cum Kindergarten, situated at No 381 Jat’s Incline in Ngau Chi Wan, at around 1:26 pm on Wednesday. The Fire Services Department responded promptly, dispatching 10 ambulances to the scene.

Among the 14 injured, two were transported to United Christian Hospital in Kwun Tong for medical attention. One individual was deemed a red case, indicating the need for immediate on-site treatment due to a serious and potentially life-threatening injury. Another was categorized as a yellow case, with injuries that were severe but not life-threatening, and did not appear to worsen significantly in the following hours.

The remaining 11 individuals were classified as green cases, reflecting minor injuries, and received on-site treatment. Among the injured, a bus driver sustained a foot injury, including bleeding. It remains unclear at this time whether any pupils were among the injured.
