[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] Around 2:40 PM on the 25th, a man in his 50s jumped onto the road from the Seoul-ro 7017 bridge in Jung-gu, Seoul, and was transported to a hospital.

Below the bridge is a major road with heavy vehicle traffic, but at the time of the fall, the traffic lights were red, so the cars were stopped, and no additional accidents occurred.

The police plan to investigate the circumstances of the accident based on witness statements and closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.

Seoul-ro 7017 is an elevated pedestrian walkway in front of Seoul Station, created in May 2017 by blocking vehicle traffic on the overpass. Since its opening, approximately 24.7 million visitors have passed through over three years.
