At least eight people were injured after an elevated work platform collapsed in Kowloon City on Saturday.

Emperor Motion Pictures said the injured were part of a production crew working on a film it is co-producing with mainland company Seventh Art Pictures.

All eight workers were said to be conscious and receiving treatment, the production company said.

It also said the two companies would do their best to support and provide assistance, while stressing that insurance was purchased for the whole crew before shooting began.

The incident happened at a movie set location near the Regal Oriental Hotel on Sa Po Road at around 4:30 pm.

A truck with the platform on board was seen tilting upright before it collapsed on top of the vehicle behind.
