Prayer to the people hurt, especially the two pedestrians that are in critical condition. The CX bus stopped for them to cross, but the Long Win bus, didn't anticipate the stop at the intersection, and slams right into the CX bus, causing the CX bus to slam into the pedestrians.

I must say, when I first started to go in and out of Hong Kong in the 90s the one thing I am most impressed about is how orderly the buses are driven. Very patient, they wait for each other to pick up pax, drop pax, and leave. Driving feels very safe, never a hard turn, never a sudden stop, almost obey the traffic rule to the max. Now, I can't say the same thing. Most of the buses are still fairly good. But some buses made me feel like riding a local China bus...
