Police said six people were certified dead at the scene — three men and three women — with dozens injured. Hong Kong prides itself on having one of the world’s best public transport systems but deadly bus accidents are not unknown. Last year was an especially bad one for fatal bus crashes in Hong Kong. A speeding double-decker overturned in northern Hong Kong in February 2018, killing 19 people, one of the worst bus accidents on record. In 2003 a double-decker bus collided with a truck and plummeted off a bridge, killing 21 people and injuring 20.
