2 dead, 8 injuried
Happened in Kowloon. GMB suspected to be speeding like crazy, collided w/ 1 bigger bus and ended up crashed into pedestrain walkway like a bull
Are you sure it's only a bull?
I think it's more like a horde of rampaging elephants or rhinoceros.

What is the model of the bus involved?
No suprise when their buzzer goes 'dee-dee-dee-dee' all the way during the journey...
Have not checked my HK news...
Edit: Compare the damage on the Wright bodied B10TL:
And the minibus:
The verdict is yours, but anyways, the road is a dangerous place (a sentence you might have heard for your parents N number of times) so be careful, use the road safely and diligently!

I presume, looking by the damage of the vehicle(s), that the two deaths are pedestrains?
Yes one 25 year old and one 48 year old were killed. They were presumed to be people waiting for buses at the queues along the road...
I hope the Mini bus driver gets Charge in court !!! These Mini bus drivers in HK are the worst!
Terrible accident

Other HK bus accidents:
tat Highway accident... w/ e trailer
Omg... those accidents really freak me out.
The photo you guys saw on the dd bus which fell frm the highway was caused by a lorry. It is Hong Kong's worst accident and if I am not wrong, 21 people died. The bus is a Neoplan Centroliner which was only 3 days on service.
Anyway, KMB has stepped up safety measures on their buses and train their bus captains so as that accidents could be prevented.
It was on service for 3 years... AP69/JU4667. Registered 2000/11/1, accident on 2003/7/11, deregistered 2004.
That is also on Tuen Mun Highway, one of the notorious stretches of roads in Hong Kong. Whenever I go to HK, relatives would have lots of stories about that road. Many fatal accidents, often involving buses happened on the road before...
And i thought Malaysia's roads are dangerous....
