The impact of the collision cracked the vehicle’s windscreen, while a metal railing was also dislodged from the divider.
Firefighters attended the scene and helped rescue those on board.
The driver and nine injured passengers – comprising three men, four women, a boy and a girl – were taken to Prince of Wales Hospital in Sha Tin for treatment.
The bus was operating on route 282, a circular service connecting the plaza with Sun Tin Wai.
Some lanes were closed to traffic until 10am.
