The truck driver, a 33-year-old man surnamed Leung, suffered leg injuries but managed to climb out of the truck on his own.
The bus driver, 39, surnamed Li, and eight passengers—three men and five women aged between 30 and 69—sustained minor injuries.
Emergency services arrived promptly, and all ten injured individuals were transported to United Hospital for treatment.
KMB confirmed the incident, stating the involved bus was moving across the junction on a green light when the truck ran a red light from the opposite direction to make the right turn.
The bus operator said it has sent staff to visit the injured and is cooperating fully with the police.
The crash caused road closure and congestion on part of Po Lam Road, with traffic gradually returning to normal after the road had reopened.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
