[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] A black box video has been released showing a driver swerving the steering wheel to prevent a secondary accident after a motorcycle running on a national road slipped on a stone and fell.


On the 9th, a video titled "A motorcycle that was running well fell and came into my lane" was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Han Moon-cheol TV.'


Driver A explained the accident scene, saying, "I was returning to Seoul after a trip to Gapyeong with my 5-year-old and 3-year-old children," and "The motorcycle that was running well suddenly fell on its own and came toward my car."


Startled, A immediately turned the steering wheel sharply to the left. He said, "I thought I had run over someone with my car and that it was a big problem. When I got out of the car, the motorcycle rider walked over. I felt like I lost ten years of my life."


The motorcycle rider in the video was found to have slipped after stepping on a stone on the road. The motorcycle's wheel skidded on the road, hit the central divider, and stopped, and the rider quickly regained consciousness and stood holding onto the central divider.


A said, "There was no contact with my car, but since he fell, I repeatedly offered to call an ambulance, but the rider said he was fine and would ride with an acquaintance's car," adding, "There was no direct contact and no fault, but is it right to just leave without taking any action? I don't know if I did the right or wrong thing. I'm curious because I wonder if this might cause problems later."


In response, lawyer Han Moon-cheol said, "Above all, since the accident did not occur because of A's car, leaving the scene would not cause any problems," and added, "If A had not suddenly braked and turned the steering wheel to the left, a serious accident could have happened."



He also added, "The motorcycle rider was driving closely behind a truck and noticed the stone on the ground late," and "If he had maintained a sufficient safety distance from the vehicle ahead, he could have seen the stone and avoided it. This shows the importance of maintaining a safe distance."
