The bus collided with 32 vehicles before slamming into a median strip, fire officials said. Photos from the scene showed the bus perched on a median strip with a shattered windshield and other damaged cars.

No arrests have been made but police were questioning the bus driver, who tested negative in a breathalyzer test. The driver, who has not been identified, told investigators that the brakes had failed, according to Park Chang-gon, an official from Seongnam's Bundang district police station.

It comes after three people have died after an SUV crashed into a food stand in North Hollywood. On Tuesday November 10 at around 5.55pm crews from the Los Angeles Fire Department said crews responded to the area of Lankershim and Chandler boulevards, next to a Metro stop.

Three people were pronounced dead at the scene, and three others were taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
