RIO DE JANEIRO: A Rio Olympics media bus, driving above the speed limit, hit a speed bump injuring three reporters travelling inside it, with one being taken to hospital, a Games official said on Tuesday. The accident occurred on Monday evening. A South Korean journalist was taken to hospital for treatment before being released. “It involved three journalists - a Korean, an Israeli and one working for (U.S.) broadcaster NBC, for whom we do not have the nationality,” Games spokesman Mario Andrada said. “The driver passed a speed bump that was not visible. He was going above the recommended speed limit,” he said.
