DHAKA: At least two people have been killed in a pile-up involving about 100 cars on a bridge near South Korea’s Incheon International Airport on Wednesday.

Another 42 people were injured in the incident, eight of them in critical condition, the BBC reports.

The cause is not clear, but police said initial reports suggested a bus had hit the back of a car in foggy conditions.

The bridge connects Incheon and the capital, Seoul, to the airport on Yongjing Island.

The pile-up occurred at about 09:30 local time (00:30 GMT).

Authorities said icy roads were also a factor.

TV footage showed emergency rescue workers trying to get to a mass of twisted and crumpled vehicles on the fog-covered bridge.
