Bus plows into 32 vehicles at a red light near Seoul, 57 hurt. Driver says the brakes failed

A commuter bus slammed into 32 vehicles stopped at a traffic light during Wednesday morning rush hour in Seongnam, just south of Seoul, before crashing into a median strip, South Korean fire officials said, the New York Post reports.

At least 57 people were treated for injuries. Nine were seriously hurt, but none of the injuries were life-threatening, according to the Gyeonggi Province fire department.

Photos and video from the scene show the bus up on the median with its front end torn open and its windshield shattered, and wrecked cars scattered across the road.

Police questioned the driver, who passed a breathalyzer test and told investigators the brakes had failed, an official at the Bundang district police station said.
