A double-decker bus crashed at a stop near Hong Kong airport on Saturday, leaving at least 18 people injured.

Police said they had received a report from the driver of a Citybus vehicle at 3.16pm that it had crashed into a planter by a bus stop close to the airport’s Terminal One.

“Eighteen people have been injured, with some sent to Princess Margaret Hospital and others sent to North Lantau Hospital. It is unclear if the driver is among the injured,” a spokesman said.

The spokesman added that the bus stop was at 1 Cheong Hong Road, with the vehicle heading in the direction of the airport.

The bus was part of Citybus’ A12 service, which goes from Siu Sai Wan to the airport.
