Bus Crash Victims Charity Reaches $37 Million
.
Summary:
In the wake of Saturday’s tragic bus accident that killed 19 people and injured 60, various organisations such as the Tung Wah hospitals, Po Leung Kuk, Hong Kong Jockey Club, and many more have reached out and donated to the charity fund, now at $37 million, which is aimed at assisting those affected in the crash.

Language Enhancement:
In the wake of (ph.)(在…之後)
雖然這個習語看上去像是與 wake (v.)「醒來」有關，但其實是解作「在…發生了之後」，與 as a result of + N. 相同，是用於帶出兩件事情之間的先後／因果關係。用法是 “In the wake of + 先發生事件（因）, 後發生事件（果）”。
e.g. In the wake of the recent cold spell, sweater sales have sky-rocketed.
e.g. These emergency drills have been set up in the wake of the recent earthquakes to familiarise students with what to do in the case of an emergency.
