GEO receives 17 landslip reports
The Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) has received a total of 17 reports of landslip since last night.
Three of the landslips occurred on Hong Kong Island, three in Kowloon and 11 in the New Territories.
Of these, eight of them affected roads and seven affected buildings.
Shortly before 7.30 am today (Friday), two people were injured as a result of a landslip from a cut slope adjacent to Castle Peak Road.
The landslip hit the rear of a double decker bus and the injuries suffered by the two victims were caused by broken glass inside the vehicle.
