A Hong Kong bus driver who ran his double-decker over a young mainland Chinese tourist in a traffic accident that left her without a lower leg was jailed for 11 months on Wednesday.

The District Court heard the tragic accident took place at 4.12pm on November 1, 2017 when Citybus driver Liu Kam-wan’s bus was making a left turn from Nathan Road onto Argyle Street in the busy shopping district of Mong Kok.
