A 68-year-old vehicle allegedly struck people who were waiting at a customers message, according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency.
He struck two different vehicles while heading the wrong way, according to Yonhap, before striking the pedestrians.
A person was detained by police over the affair, said Kim Suk- hwan, protection and travel chairman at the city’s Jung- gu district office.
According to Kim, inquiries are ongoing to determine whether drugs or alcohol were involved and whether the fatal occurrence was brought on by unintentional motion.
Seoul Mayor Oh Se- ho described” a really unhappy incident” as he visited the accident webpage, according to town authorities.
He also gave the order to “take the patients to the hospital quickly and thoroughly determine the cause of the accident.”
In South Korea, which has usually well-maintained roads and vehicles, fatalities with multiple deaths are uncommon.
