(Video) Tour bus hits bottom of bridge, one injured

A tour bus driver was injured after he drove into the bottom of a bridge in Sha Tau Kok with a height restriction on Sunday morning.  

Shortly before noon today, a tour bus was driving along the Lin Ma Hang Road, driving into the Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point Public Transport Interchange, but due to the height of the tour bus, it rammed into the bottom of the bridge, and the tour bus backed up.  

Fortunately, no other vehicles were involved in the incident. 

The front of the bus was smashed in the accident, sustaining a broken windshield and dented roof.  

The 25-year-old driver, surnamed Mak, who suffered injuries to his eye, hand, and neck, was sent to the North District Hospital for medical attention.  

It is understood that the road in the area had a height restriction of 2.4 meters, and only ordinary vehicles were allowed into the car park, while the average tour bus was around four meters tall.  

According to a video posted online, the tour bus somehow drove along to the entrance and rammed into the bottom of the bridge, causing a loud noise. The tour bus reverses as smoke starts to billow from the vehicle, with the front heavily damaged, the windshield dented, and parts coming loose.  

As the video ended, there were no other vehicles seen nearby and no passengers on the bus.
