[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] A video of a wild boar running onto the highway and colliding head-on with a vehicle has been released.


On the 30th, the YouTube channel 'Han Moon-chul TV' uploaded a video titled "Am I unable to avoid it because I'm a beginner? A wild boar charging recklessly." According to the video submitter, the incident occurred around 5 p.m. on the 9th in Andong-si, Gyeongbuk Province.


The released footage shows a wild boar suddenly running onto the highway and colliding heavily with the submitter's vehicle. The vehicle then hit the guardrail a second time due to the impact and was damaged. The submitter explained, "The airbags deployed and the wheels were completely destroyed," adding, "I couldn't even repair it and had to scrap the car."


The submitter said, "People around me say others could have avoided it and that I couldn't because I'm a beginner, but can others really avoid it?" and added, "This is my first time facing such a situation, so I don't know what to do. If this happens again, how should I respond?" seeking advice.


He continued, "People around me ask why I couldn't change lanes to the first lane. Is it correct to make a sudden lane change to avoid it? I don't know, so I'm uploading this video. I would appreciate it if you could let me know."


Meanwhile, the channel that released the video held a poll on how to respond in such situations. The result showed 100% voted "It's better to hold the steering wheel straight," and 0% voted "Suddenly turn the steering wheel to the first lane."



Host Attorney Han Moon-chul said, "The first time the wild boar was spotted, it seemed to be less than 50 meters away. If you turn the steering wheel, you might fall off the guardrail or crash into the central divider and overturn," adding, "It was a sudden disaster and just bad luck."
