59 dead, 150 injured in Seoul Halloween stampede

At least 59 people were killed and dozens more were wounded in a crash when a large crowd pushed forward on a narrow street during Halloween festivities in the South Korean capital Seoul, officials say.

At least 60 were being treated for injuries and the death toll could rise, emergency authorities said. Many people had suffered cardiac arrest.

 

One official said it was believed that people were crushed to death after a crowd started surging forward in an alley near Hamilton Hotel, a major party spot in the Itaewon district, popular for its nightlife.
