SEOUL: A tour bus overturned near a DMZ observation post in Paju, northwest of Seoul, on Saturday (June 21), injuring 10 people.

The 45-seat bus was carrying 21 tourists when it tipped over around 11.27am on a road in Paju's Jangdan area, police said.

It was headed to the Dora Observatory, a popular lookout where visitors can peer across the heavily fortified border into North Korea.

The bus toppled onto the left side of the road just before reaching a parking lot partway up to the lookout, according to police.

Two people, one of them a foreign national, were seriously injured, while eight others suffered minor injuries. All are being treated at hospitals.

Police are questioning the driver and passengers to determine what caused the crash. - The Korea Herald/ANN
