HONG KONG - Eleven crewmen went missing in a ship collision near the waters of Hong Kong's Po Toi Island Monday morning, the local maritime authorities said.

A Chinese cargo ship sank after colliding with another cargo ship at around 2:30 am local time. Twelve crewmen fell into the sea and one of them was later picked up by a passing fishing boat, the Hong Kong Marine Department said.
