On the afternoon of the 26th, police officers and firefighters are conducting emergency rescue operations at the scene of a collision involving a Morning passenger car in Oncheon-dong, Dongnae-gu, Busan.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Around 6:40 PM on the 26th, a Morning passenger car collided with a 7.5-ton truck parked on the roadside in front of the Busan Individual Freight Transport Business Association in Oncheon-dong, Dongnae-gu, Busan.

As a result of the accident, the Morning driver, a woman in her 60s identified as Ms. A, sustained serious head injuries and was transported to a hospital where she is currently receiving treatment.

The Busan police believe that the accident vehicle was changing lanes on a one-way two-lane road from the Mandeok No. 1 Tunnel side toward Oncheon-dong when it struck the freight truck parked on the shoulder.

According to witnesses and the family of the seriously injured, the braking system of the Morning car, which was driving downhill, failed to operate, causing the driver to urgently signal and change lanes in an attempt to stop the car, during which it collided with the truck parked on the shoulder.

The police have secured the black box footage from the vehicle behind the accident car, obtained by the family of the driver involved, and are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident.
