1. On a wet Sunday afternoon in February some 5 years ago, a party of children were returning from a day out in Lok Ma Chau. The coach in which they were being carried was travelling along the Castle Peak Road, after passing through Yuen Long, when suddenly it veered across the central reservation to collide with a public light bus travelling on the far lane of the opposing carriageway. One passenger in the bus was killed and the driver and three other passengers were injured.
