Two people were killed and six others injured Thursday in a car crash that led to a building collapse in Seoul.
The accident occurred on a road in the Guro District at around 11 a.m. when two trucks collided and one of the vehicles ran into a nearby five-story building.
According to police and firefighters, the building was then hit by an explosion and fire that broke out after gas leaked from a pipe hit by the five-ton freight vehicle.
An adjoining single-story building also collapsed apparently due to the blast.
Two women were found dead in the rubble.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident.
