Tourist bus flips sideways, four passengers killed, some 40 injured

A large tourist bus flipped on its side on a highway in Daejeon, some 160 kilometers south of Seoul, on Sunday, leaving four passengers dead and 22 others injured, police said.
The bus carrying 45 passengers, who were heading to Mt. Daedun in South Chungcheong Province from Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, fell sideways after it tried to avoid hitting a car that abruptly cut into its lane.
The passengers on the bus were the members of a mountaineering club on a trip to enjoy the colorful autumn foliage. Eight of those injured are in serious condition, police said.
"The bus zigzagged and then fell sideways," one of the passengers, surnamed Lee, told reporters. "There was mayhem inside the bus as chairs were broken with the passengers thrown to the floor," he added.
Police assumed that the accident took place as the bus driver failed to comply with safe driving rules.
"But we need to further investigate the case to find out the exact cause," a police official said, declining to be named. (Yonhap)
