SUVs Collide Head-On Crossing Center Line Late at Night... 8 Sustain Moderate Injuries

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] An accident occurred on a road in Mokpo, Jeollanam-do, where two SUVs collided head-on after one crossed the center line, injuring eight people.

According to the Mokpo Police Station on the 7th, at around 0:18 a.m., a Sportage driven by Mr. A (21) and a Traverse driven by Mr. B (46) coming from the opposite direction collided on a two-lane one-way road in Ongeum-dong, Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do, resulting in eight injuries.

Mr. A and three passengers (21) in Mr. A's vehicle sustained serious injuries including facial fractures and were transported to a nearby hospital, while Mr. B and three passengers in Mr. B's vehicle, who are family members, suffered minor injuries.

The police believe that Mr. A crossed the center line and collided with Mr. B's oncoming vehicle, and based on the breathalyzer results detecting alcohol only in Mr. A, it is presumed that Mr. A was driving under the influence.

The police plan to file charges against Mr. A for injury under the Special Act on Traffic Accident Handling as soon as treatment is completed and will investigate the exact circumstances of the incident.
