South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported that a 68-year-old driver crashed into people who were waiting at a traffic signal.
He was driving in the wrong direction and hit two other vehicles before ploughing into the pedestrians, Yonhap said.
A man was detained by police over the incident, said Kim Suk-hwan, safety and transport director at the city’s Jung-gu district office.
Investigations are underway to determine if drugs or alcohol were involved, as well as whether the deadly incident was caused by accidental acceleration, Kim said.
