BUSES COLLIDE.
SERIOUS MAINLAND ACCIDENT.
TWO LIVES LOST.
Buses going in opposite directions collided on a bridge on the Castle Peak – Un Long road yesterday afternoon, causing the loss of two lives and numerous injuries. A number of boy scouts belonging to the 7th Saiyingpun troop were on the outgoing bus, on their way to camp at Un Long (not far from the border) and several of them were among the casualties.
What led to the crash is not known except that it is stated there was not sufficient room for both buses to pass. The impact was so great that the buses were shattered. Passengers were either pinned beneath the wreckage or thrown to the ground. One who subsequently examined the wreckage states that the roof and upper structure generally of one bus was almost severed form the chassis.
Those of the boy scouts who were not seriously injured pluckily rendered what service they could to ameliorate the sufferings of the others. One scout-master boarded a bus which arrived later and went to procure medical aid. He got a message through from Ping Shan station and took back to Kowloon all those who could walk.
About two hours after the accident Dr. Smalley arrived on the scene with the ambulance. Stretcher cases were brought back in the ambulance and the others by bus. The more serious were attended to by Dr. Smalley and Dr. Ip Kam-wah at the Kwong Wah hospital and anxious relatives waited for news as operations were performed.
Up to last night a young girl and a boy scout had died both before admission to hospital. A middle-aged woman had her skull fractured and a brother of the deceased scout is seriously injured in the had and abdomen; these two were in a dangerous last night. Two more scouts, two women, two men and a ticket collector were also admitted to hospital. Today it was not possible to get the Kwong Wah hospital on the telephone.
We are informed by Mr. Morris, headmaster of the Saiyingpun School, to which the troop of boy scouts belong, that the boy who was considered in a serious condition is now thought to have hopes of recovering.
As soon as the accident happened two men are said to gave escaped with the takings and a warrant has been issued for their arrest late last night. Sergeant McWalters went to Pingshan where he took into custody two men who are suspected to be the men in question.
Two Chinese were injured in another bus accident on the Castle Peak Road yesterday. A bus, said to be in charge of an instructor and his pupil, went off the road and overturned.

巴士相撞
內陸嚴重車禍
兩人死亡
昨午青山公路-元朗段(Castle Peak – Un Long road)橋上發生巴士對撞交通意外，事件導致兩人死亡及多人受傷，事件亦涉及一隊香港第7旅的童子軍，他們當時正乘車前往元朗(近邊境地區)露營，童軍們亦有傷亡。
事故原因暫時未明，估計可能與路面不夠兩車通行有關。巴士因對撞衝力過大，兩車皆撞至破碎，乘客們不是被困車底就是被拋出車外。一名調查人員透露，其中一台巴士的車頂連同上半車身被撞至差點與底盤分離。
事故中傷勢不重的童子軍，於意外後鼓起勇氣為其他傷者進行急救以舒緩痛楚。其中一位童軍領袖後來亦登上一台途經的巴士尋找救援，他將事件報告給屏山警署，並帶領輕傷人士返回九龍。
約兩小時後，史摩理醫官(Dr. Smalley)及其救援車輛抵達現場，救護車主要運送擔架人士，其他人士則乘巴士。重傷人士於抵達廣華醫院後立即由史摩理醫官及葉錦華醫生(Dr. Ip Kam-wah)進行手術，大批家屬則到醫院等候消息。
昨晚消息，一名女童及一名童子軍於送院期間不治；一名中年女士頭顱骨折，一名罹難童軍的兄弟頭部及腹部重傷，兩人昨晚情況嚴重；兩名童軍、兩名女士、兩名男士及一位售票員亦獲送院。今天我們未能致電廣華醫院查詢狀況。
我們收到西營盤書院校長莫理士先生(Mr. Morris)的知會，較早前傷勢嚴重的該校童子軍，情況有望好轉。
另外於事發後，據報有兩人企圖收拾細軟逃亡，相關單位昨晚已發出手令並拘捕二人。麥偉德沙展(Sergeant McWalters)現將兩人拘留於屏山警署。
昨日青山公路亦有另一單交通意外，事件中兩名中國人受傷。據稱一名教車師傅與學徒於行駛至該路段時，車輛失控及反車。
