During the accident clearance process, part of the road experienced congestion.

The accident is reported to have occurred when the 12-ton cargo truck, which was in a lower lane, suddenly changed lanes, pushing the passenger car in the first lane against the wall of the central divider and trapping it sideways.

The police are investigating the detailed circumstances of the accident by questioning witnesses and others.
