On the sidewalk of the city bus on the way to work...a major blackout

[Anchor]
A city bus rushed to the sidewalk from Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, during the rush hour this morning.

Nearby residents suffered from power outages when they hit the ground switch on the side of the road.

In particular, there was a bus stop nearby, which was feared to cause casualties.

Let's look into the damage.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Bae Minhyuk!

You're still working on the accident?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

I haven't cleared the bus that went up to India yet.

You are watching a video taken by our reporter at around 8:30 a.m.

It's been more than two hours since the accident, and the bus is halfway across the sidewalk as it was at the time of the accident.

You can see the bus pushing right in front of the bus stop.

We are in a situation where we control one lane and deal with the accident.

You can also see electric equipment vehicles.

The accident occurred at around 6:15 a.m. today (2nd).

In Goan-dong, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, a city bus rushed to the sidewalk near the bus stop and hit the power facility.

If you look at the report video showing the situation at the time of the accident, the bus is leaning over the sidewalk.

The bus, which rushed to the sidewalk, hit a ground switch, an electrical installation on the side of the road, and stopped.

If there were people at the bus stop right behind or on the sidewalk, it would have led to casualties.

Fortunately, no one was hurt in the accident so far because there was no one nearby at the time.

However, the switch is damaged, and nearby residents are suffering from power outages.

Korea Electric Power Corporation plans to start emergency restoration work as soon as the accident bus is moved.

The police are investigating A, a male driver in his 30s, arbitrarily, as there were no casualties, but the physical damage was large.

It has been confirmed that A was alone on the bus at the time of the accident, and was not drunk or on medication.

The police plan to decide whether A will be booked or not after investigating the exact circumstances of the accident, weighing the possibility of the accident due to poor driving.
