A village bus suddenly rushes behind a white SUV driving down the road and charges straight onto the sidewalk.

Pedestrians walking from the opposite direction run in a hurry and take cover on the other side.

At around 8:00 PM yesterday, a village bus plowed into a commercial building on a road in Hongje-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

As the bus lunged onto the sidewalk, a utility pole was knocked down, and the commercial building was left in chaos with shattered glass windows.

[Byun Chae-yeon / Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul: "There was a loud bang, so I went outside. If it had come just a bit more to the side, my shop would have been in danger, so I was quite startled by that."]

The accident left a total of eight people injured, including a female pedestrian in her 50s who suffered serious injuries, with two transported to the hospital.

[Accident Witness: "(The woman) was shouting, 'Please save me,' and a man ran over to try and pull her out, but he said she was bleeding so much..."]

It was found that the bus had struck a passenger car and a taxi starting from a nearby intersection before colliding with an SUV and the commercial building, finally coming to a stop.

Police stated that the bus driver was not under the influence of alcohol and that they are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident based on dashcam footage and other evidence.
