A bus crashed into dozens of vehicles, including passenger cars, a truck and four other buses, on Wednesday morning in Seongnam, South Korea, just south of Seoul. Fire authorities in Gyeonggi Province said 57 people were injured, nine seriously, though none were in life-threatening condition, while Yonhap had earlier reported 48 injured, six seriously. The 60-something driver told investigators his brakes had failed and tested negative in a breathalyzer test, and an investigation into the cause has been launched. Seongnam has nearly 900,000 residents, and dozens of firefighters and vehicles were deployed, with an emergency medical station set up at the scene.
