It was also suggested to install a gaze guide rod in the section from the main road to Namsejong IC. The Road Traffic Authority is planning to submit the proposed improvement derived through this investigation to the Korea Expressway Corporation and the National Police Agency.

As a result of checking the black box video by the police, the van running on the second lane 300-400m ahead of Nam Sejong IC suddenly speeded up, overtaking the preceding Mercedes, and then reentering the ramp section from the safety zone section where lane change is prohibited. Although he suddenly braked in the turn that appeared immediately, he couldn’t beat the speed and struck the corner of the road on the left and the steel pillar for the high pass guide and turned over.

Some passengers were thrown out of the vehicle due to the accident. At that time, there were 12 people in the van, including 2 Koreans and 10 Chinese.

Among them, five drivers, including driver Kim Mo (44) and Chinese person Kim Mo (37), suffered severe and minor injuries and are being treated at four hospitals in Daejeon. A total of 7 people died, including 6 Chinese people, including Koreans Choi Mo (47) and aunt (47). The police estimate that most of the occupants did not fasten their seat belts, resulting in a significant loss of life.

On the morning of the 1st, the van overturned at the ramp section of the Namsejong IC on the Dangjin Daejeon Expressway in Geumnam-myeon, Sejong City, killing 7 of the 12 people in the vehicle and injured 5 others. yunhap news

The police and the Road Traffic Authority are putting weight on speeding driving and excessive interruption as the cause of the accident. However, as the driver, Kim, who holds the most important key in determining the cause of the accident, was transferred to a hospital in Seoul on the night of the 1st, an investigation delay is inevitable.

The dedicated police investigation team conducted the first investigation of the injured and dead 7 bereaved families. The police explained that most of the injured did not accurately remember the situation at the time.

A police official said, “The investigation of the van driver will be possible after the injury has recovered to some extent,” and said, “We plan to start the investigation once the injured is restored to stability as they are in a state of great mental shock.”
