Nine soldiers were injured Wednesday when the tour bus they were in struck a second bus that was stopped at a red light in Uijeongbu, South Korea.

The soldiers, newly arrived members of the 2nd Infantry Division, were returning from an orientation tour of the Uijeongbu area.

They were returning to the Warrior Readiness Center In-processing Station at Camp Stanley when the collision occurred, said 2nd ID spokesman Maj. Vince Mitchell.

According to Uijeongbu police, three tour buses approached the intersection as the light was changing. The first bus made it through the intersection, but the second had to stop at the red light. The third bus didn’t stop in time and rear-ended the second.

Nine soldiers received minor injuries to their knees, backs and legs.
