[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] As the nationwide local election day approaches, election campaign vehicles are experiencing difficulties. Since drivers are not accustomed to adjusting the vehicle height or screen equipment height due to rarely using these vehicles, accidents are occurring one after another.

According to the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency, at around 7:30 a.m. on the 29th, a campaign vehicle for the Seo-gu district mayor candidate caught on an overhead wire on the road in Seodaesin-dong, causing the campaign platform to fall.

As a result of this accident, the campaign vehicle driver complained of back pain, and part of the vehicle's platform was damaged. The Traffic Accident Division of the Western Police Station is investigating the circumstances of the accident with the driver.

At 5:41 p.m. on the same day, another accident involving a different campaign vehicle occurred.

The Busan Metropolitan Police Agency stated that at the entrance of the Choryang-dong underpass, the driver entered without calculating the height of the campaign vehicle and collided with the upper wall of the entrance.

The campaign vehicle had not lowered the screen when entering the entrance, and the screen hit the upper wall of the entrance and fell onto the road.

This accident was settled through insurance without being reported to the police.
