Bus Crashes Into Sejong City Bus Stop, Leaving Middle School Student Injured

Following an incident earlier this month in which a bus crashed into a commercial building in Sejong City, leaving two people injured, another accident has occurred involving a city bus that plowed directly into a bus stop as it was pulling in.

According to the Sejong Nambu Police Station on Thursday (June 18), a city bus crashed into the upper right section of a bus stop in Dajeong-dong, Sejong City, at 10:43 a.m. today.

The impact was reportedly significant enough to shatter the bus stop's glass panels and send debris flying in all directions.

A middle school student who was sitting on a bench near the bus stop was struck by broken glass and other debris, and was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital.

There were two passengers on board along with the bus driver (in his 60s), but no further casualties were reported.

A police official stated, "We have confirmed that the bus driver was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs," adding, "We are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the accident by questioning the driver and witnesses."

Previously, on June 7 at 3:42 p.m., a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicle crashed into a commercial building on a road in Dodam-dong, Sejong City, resulting in injuries to two people, including the driver (in his 40s) and a passenger, who were taken to the hospital.
