A double-decker bus plowed into an overpass near Dangsan Station in western Seoul, injuring around 10 people.

According to Youngdeungpo Police Station on Wednesday, a number 8601A bus hit the scaffolding below the metro overpass around 10:20 a.m. that day.

The front end of the roof of the bus was pushed in by the force of the crash, causing damage to the upper deck. Ten out of 40 people on board were taken to a hospital for minor injuries.

The bus driver told police that he had driven into the overpass unconsciously, assuming the bus was a regular single-decker.
