One van runs upside down on a 6-lane round-trip road.

The fireman knocks on the car door and talks to the driver, but goes to the intersection without answer.

The patrol car who was watching this, blocked the vehicle in question with the body and finally stopped.

The accident started at around 10:30 am on the 21st,

A driver in her 70s suddenly had a seizure while driving and lost consciousness, and the wife who was riding next to him got out of the car, asked for help, and then called 119.

But at that moment the car started running forward again.

The scene of the accident.

The driver, unconscious, crossed the sidewalk and entered the silver grass field, and drove another 100m.

The police and paramedics were dispatched while the car stopped in the silver grass field, but while trying to figure out the situation to rescue Mr. A, he came back to the road and drove back.

It was thanks to the policeman who showed the base at the moment that there was no damage to life.

Under the current law, drivers are required to renew their licenses through regular aptitude tests to see if they can drive normally, but experts point out that the actual cancellation rate is low, so more effective measures are needed.
