A light truck crashed into a market in South Korea on Thursday and sped for 150 metres (164.04 yards) before coming to a halt, injuring 20 people including two who were unconscious after suffering cardiac arrest, emergency officials said.
The incident took place at a market located in Bucheon, about 20 km (12.43 miles) west of the capital Seoul, a fire official told a televised briefing.
The truck appeared to reverse for 28 metres before accelerating towards the outdoor market, the official said.
The driver had blamed a sudden surge of acceleration for the incident, he said.
The driver was not intoxicated when tested for alcohol by police, a police official said at the briefing.
Authorities would hand the vehicle over to investigators to try to pinpoint the cause of the crash, the official said.
