A tour bus overturned near a DMZ observation post in Paju, northwest of Seoul, on Saturday, injuring 10 people.
The 45-seat bus was carrying 21 tourists when it tipped over around 11:27 a.m. 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.
