Two people died and 15 were injured after a minibus ran into a container lorry on Saturday morning in Hong Kong.

The collision happened at around 5:30 a.m. of local time Saturday morning on the Yuen Long Highway, near the Pok Oi Interchange. The police said that the driver of the minibus and a female passenger were killed. Fifteen other passengers on the minibus were injured and were taken to nearby hospitals.

The police said that the bus driver might misjudge the speed of the lorry when the lorry slowed down to climb a slope.
