Twelve people were injured on Sunday after a bus rammed into a lamppost next to a bus stop in Choi Hung.

Police said the driver and 10 passengers, two of them children, were hurt in the crash at around midday, while a girl sitting at the bus stop was hit by glass, leaving her with head and facial injuries.

Nine people were taken to hospital. The driver reported having leg pain, while the passengers hurt only had minor injuries.
