A lorry running in the middle lane lost control as the bus approached the junction with Tsing Long Highway.

The bus broke through the parapet, and plunged into Ting Kau Village 35 metres (115 ft) below.

The bus was later lifted back onto Tuen Mun Road and transported to the vehicle compound at Siu Ho Wan.

[citation needed] The lorry driver was sentenced to 18 months in jail after being found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving.
