STOCKHOLM, June 1 (Xinhua) -- About 10 people were injured when a double-decker bus drove into a pedestrian bridge in central Sweden Thursday morning, Swedish public television broadcaster SVT reported.
The bus, belonging to the Uppsala county public transport service, drove into the bridge on a main street in the city of Vasteras.
About 10 of the 20 passengers on the bus were injured, press spokesperson Jonas Partheen told the SVT. It is not clear if anyone has been seriously injured.
"About 10 people are on their way to the hospital in a bus," he said. One of the injured was jammed in the front of the bus.
The bus was going to drive the 67-km stretch from Vasteras to Uppsala, north of Stockholm, when the accident occured at about 8 a.m. local time (0600 GMT).
Partheen noted that it's a regular public service bus from Uppsala County's local transport service, "so it's a route with a lot of passengers," but it is unclear what caused the accident.
Ambulances and emergency rescue services were quick to arrive at the scene and took care of the passengers and the chauffeur, SVT reported.
