A city bus rear-ended more than 10 vehicles stopped at a signal near a bus stop in Yatap-dong, Bundang-gu, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, on Wednesday morning, leaving about 30 people injured, including passengers on board.

According to police, the fire department and Yonhap, the bus — driven by a suspect identified only as A — struck two other buses, a truck and several passenger cars in succession before crashing into a median barrier and coming to a stop.

About 30 people have been confirmed injured, ranging from serious to minor. None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.

Police and fire authorities are investigating the suspect and others involved to determine the exact cause of the accident.
