▲ A city bus in Sejong City
Following an accident earlier this month in Sejong City where a bus crashed into a commercial building, leaving two people injured, another city bus has crashed 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 scatter debris in all directions.
A middle school student who was sitting on a bench near the bus stop was struck by shattered glass and other debris and was transported to a nearby hospital.
There were two passengers on board the bus along with the driver (in his 60s), but no additional 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 nearby 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.
