At least 57 people were injured after a commuter bus ploughed into 32 vehicles waiting at a traffic light during the morning rush hour in South Korea on Wednesday.
The crash happened in Seongnam, just south of Seoul, before the bus eventually slammed into a road median, according to fire officials.
Nine of those injured were reported to be in serious condition, although none suffered life-threatening injuries. All 57 victims were receiving medical treatment, the Gyeonggi Province Fire Department said.
The impact left a trail of damaged vehicles, while photographs from the scene showed the bus mounted on the median strip with its windscreen shattered.
Other cars involved in the collision were also visibly damaged.
Police have since questioned the bus driver to establish what caused the incident.
According to Park Chang-gon, an official from Seongnam’s Bundang district police station, the driver tested negative for alcohol in a breathalyser test.
The driver reportedly told investigators that the bus had suffered brake failure.
