A car rolled over 360 degrees and hit two other vehicles after colliding with a double-decker bus on a busy Hong Kong highway on Monday, causing a traffic jam that stretched 6km and lasted more than 1½ hours.

A video posted online shows the car attempting to cut into a designated bus lane, but was hit by a KMB double-decker travelling on the lane.
In the footage, the sedan hit two other vehicles on the busy highway after the impact caused it to roll over 360 degrees. It landed in between the bus lane and second lane of the carriageway.
According to a police spokeswoman, the bus driver in his 50s suffered injuries to his hand and was taken to Yan Chai Hospital in Tsuen Wan for treatment.
Officers from the New Territories South traffic unit were investigating the cause of the incident, she added.
