“Fourteen people were injured after a minibus crashed into a heavy goods vehicle, Hong Kong police said on Saturday.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results contain conflicting reports regarding the number of injured people (one mentions 14 injured, another mentions 6 passengers injured, and a third mentions 10 injured). However, no two or more *independent* sources confirm the specific detail that *fourteen* people were injured by a minibus crashing into an HGV on a Saturday. The most specific corroboration for the number 14 comes from one web search result regarding a tram crash, not the described minibus crash.
