Around 11:00 a.m. today (July 3), a Danubi train, which operates as a tourist circulation vehicle in Taejongdae, Yeongdo-gu, Busan, collided with a roadside tree and landscaping stones.

Two passengers were injured in the accident, one of whom was transported to a hospital with facial injuries.

Police believe that a bolt connecting the train cars broke, causing some of the three carriages to twist while in motion and strike the tree and other objects.

The Danubi train was involved in a similar accident this past April, which left four people, including foreign tourists, with minor injuries.
