TERRIBLE BUS ACCIDENT.
CRASH ON BRIDGE IN NEW TERRITORIES.
TWO PASSENGERS KILLED: ALL INJURED.
A terrible motor-bus crash occurred in the New Territories, yesterday afternoon, when two motor-bus proceeding in opposite directions, collided on a bridge at Un Lung. Both buses were completely smashed up and two of the passengers have died from injuries. Two more were, at a late hour last night, not expected to live, seven others were more or less seriously injured, whilst practically all the remainder of the passengers suffered from shock and superficial injuries of some sort or another.
BOTH VEHICLES WRECKED.
Both buses belong to the Chun Hing Motor-bus Company, which operates a bus service from Kowloon to Un Lung, which is just beyond Ping Shan Police Station. They were travelling in opposite directions, the one from Kowloon containing a party of boy scouts of the 7th Saiyingpun School Troop proceeding to camp at Un Lung. The bus to Kowloon contained a full complement of passengers, about fifteen. The buses met without warning at 2.15 p.m. on Un Lung bridge, which is only wide enough for one. Neither bus could pull up and a terrible crash resulted, in which both vehicles were wrecked. Some of the passengers were pinned underneath the wreckage whilst others were thrown heavily into the road. According to one of the Scoutmasters none of the passengers in the buses escaped injury. He escaped lightly with a black eye and many abrasions on his body. Dr. Smalley, the Government Medical Officer, who visited the scene some time after the crash, describes the sight as terrible.
BOY SCOUTS RENDER FIRST AID.
The less seriously injured of the boy scouts, including Scoutmasters K.C.Kong, C.Y.Yiu and Lam Chun, got to work at once and did what they could for the more seriously injured until such time as proper medical help could be obtained. Shortly after the accident another of the Company’s buses appeared on the scene and Scoutmaster K.C.Kong proceeded with the bus to a Chinese hospital about a mile or so further along, at Pak Oi hoping to obtain medical aid. The Chinese at the hospital were very courteous, but told the distressed scout that they did not know sufficient to give any practical medical assistance or advice. The bus was then rushed back to the nearest Police Station, presumably Ping Shan, and there reported the matter to the Police Sergeant in Charge and word was sent through to Kowloon.
TWO INJURED SUCCUMB.
The scoutmaster collected the “walking” cases from the injured of both buses and brought them into Kowloon where they were attended to at the Kwong Wah Hospital. The more serious cases were made as comfortable as possible and those left in charge had an anxious wait for Dr. Smalley and the ambulance from Kowloon. These arrived some two hours after the accident and all the injured were given attention and brought back into town – the stretcher cases in the ambulance and the remainder by bus. At the Kwong Wah Hospital Dr. Smalley, with the assistance of Dr. Ip, promptly got to work on the seriously injured, and made arrangements for the less serious cases to be transferred to the Government Civil Hospital. One woman was found to be suffering from a fractured skull and is not expected to live the night. In the case of a boy scout it was found necessary to perform an operation, to stop internal haemorrhage. The lad’s only chance to live depended on the operation and last night the Doctors were working hard to save him. This boy’s name is Ho. His brother was killed in the accident and another brother slightly injured.
ANXIOUS RELATIVES.
During the evening there were many callers at the hospital, enquiring anxiously after injured relatives. These included an uncle of the three boys mentioned above. When out representative left the hospital the uncle was waiting for an operation to be performed on one of his nephews.
The following is a list of the ten people killed and injured:-

恐怖巴士意外
新界橋上相撞
兩死,多人受傷
昨日下午,新界發生了一宗恐怖的交通意外,兩台對頭巴士於元朗(Un Lung)的橋上迎頭相撞,兩車嚴重損毀,事故造成2名乘客死亡,另外2名傷者於昨晚亦預料將告不治。其他乘客則有不同程度的衝擊及損傷。
兩台車輛損毀
兩車均屬泉興巴士公司(Chun Hing Motor-bus Company)所有,公司主要營運九龍至元朗屏山警署附近的路線。兩車當時正行駛相反路線,往元朗巴士載著一隊準備前往元朗露營的西營盤書院香港第7旅的童子軍。往九龍巴士則載滿約15名乘客。兩車於下午2時15分在元朗橋面相撞,該橋闊度只夠一車通過,但當時兩車都沒有停下。兩車迎頭相撞後嚴重損毀,部份乘客受困車底,其他乘客則被重重拋出路面。根據其中一位旅長(Scoutmaster)的敘述,當時所有乘客都有受傷,他離開車廂時有短暫失明及身體多處擦傷。政府醫官史摩里(Dr. Smalley)抵達現場後,亦形容現場情況十分糟糕。
童子軍進行急救
多名輕傷的童子軍,包括旅長(Scoutmaster)江近泉(K.C.Kong)、嚴仲堯(C.Y.Yiu)、林松(Lam Chun),於救護人員抵達前為多名傷者進行急救。意外發生後不久,另一台泉興巴士駛經現場,江近泉立即上車前往約一英里外的博愛中醫醫院請求醫療協助。駐院中醫雖然熱心,但因他們沒有急救知識,未能提供即時協助。巴士再駛往鄰近的屏山警署,當值沙展收到通知後立即將訊息發送九龍各單位。
兩名傷者離世
旅長(Scoutmaster)將所有輕傷人士集合,並協助他們登上巴士送往九龍廣華醫院接受治療。而重傷人士則先進行急救以減緩他們的痛楚,並焦急地等待由九龍出發的史摩里醫官及其救護車輛。救護車於2小時後抵達現場,所有傷者獲安排移送市區。當返回廣華醫院後,史摩里醫官與助手葉醫生(Dr. Ip)立即為重傷人士進行手術,而輕傷人士則轉送國家醫院(Government Civil Hospital)繼續治療。一名女子因頭顱骨折,於晚上時段預料將告不治。一名童子軍因嚴重內出血,昨晚醫生們正為他進行手術,能否存活視乎手術順利與否,這名男童姓何,他的一位兄弟已於意外中逝世,而另一位兄弟則受輕傷。
焦急的家屬
當晚的醫院收到很多來電,他們都很焦慮地詢問家屬的狀況,其中一位包括上述三名小童的叔父。當本報記者離開醫院時,他正等候其中一位侄子的手術。
