At least 57 people have been injured after an urban bus rammed more than 30 vehicles in the South Korean city of Seongnam, located south of the capital, Seoul, in an incident that occurred early this Wednesday morning.
The crash occurred when a line of around 30 cars was waiting for the green light of a traffic signal on a main avenue in Seongnam. The bus involved in the accident struck, in succession, four other buses, a cargo truck, and 27 private cars before finally coming to a stop at around 7:34 local time.
According to the first figures, the heavy vehicle was colliding with the automobiles along a stretch of more than 100 meters, causing dozens of injuries, including nine in serious condition, according to information released by the Yonhap agency.
However, South Korean media note that, despite the scale of the accident and the high number of victims, none of those affected has injuries that are considered potentially fatal.
