A total of fourteen people were injured in a multi-car pile-up during rush hour this morning in Sha Tin.

The incident took place at around 8am today on Rural Committee Road, near New Town Plaza. Due to heavy traffic, the taxi and minibus directly behind it slowed down. The driver of a second minibus failed to slow down in time and crashed into the first bus, which then collided with the rear end of the taxi, Oriental Daily reports.

Paramedics and firemen arrived at scene to rescue the passengers and drivers. A total of 14 people were injured, of which 10 passengers and both minibus drivers were sent to the hospital for treatment.

Police closed the lane for investigation. The road has been temporarily converted to one lane two-way traffic.
