A commuter bus in Seongnam, south of Seoul, crashes into more than 30 vehicles stopped at a traffic light during the morning rush hour, injuring dozens of people. Fire officials say at least 57 people receive treatment for injuries. Several sources also report that nine are seriously hurt.
Yonhap, Korea Times and other outlets describe the crash as involving buses, cars and a cargo truck in a collision that spans roughly 100 to 150 metres before the bus stops after hitting a traffic barrier or median strip. Police question the bus driver and investigators look into the cause. Korea Times adds operational details including the driver’s reported claim that the brakes failed, and notes breathalyzer results are negative and drug testing may be considered.
Coverage is broadly consistent on location, timing and casualty numbers, with most outlets emphasizing “dozens injured” and the scale of the multi-vehicle collision. Some sources highlight specific injury severity, while others focus mainly on the bus striking 32 vehicles and the surrounding rush-hour traffic conditions.
