At least five people were killed and more than 30 others injured in a car crash early Friday in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).
A tour bus collided with a taxi on Tsing Yi, an island to the northwest of Hong Kong Island, shortly before 5:00 a.m. local time (2100 GMT Thursday).
Three people were confirmed dead at the scene. Another two died in the hospital, the HKSAR government's press service department told Xinhua.
Over 10 ambulances rushed to the scene and a total of 34 injured were sent to hospital, eight of whom were in a serious condition.
Television footage showed the rear end of the taxi completely caved in.
The accident resulted in the closure of several lanes on a highway to the airport.
