[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] A harrowing accident occurred in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, where a vehicle crossing a railroad crossing collided with a train.


According to the Suncheon Police Station in Jeollanam-do on the 8th, at around 7:59 a.m., a Mugunghwa-ho train struck the side of an SUV that was stopped at a railroad crossing near Inwol Intersection in Suncheon City.


The driver, Ms. A, a woman in her 50s, had already exited the vehicle and was unharmed, and all 23 passengers aboard the Mugunghwa-ho train were also safe.


The vehicle, which had been stopped on the tracks, was thrown off by the impact of the collision, and train operations resumed without disruption.



The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident, believing that Ms. A was crossing the railroad crossing following another vehicle when the barrier gate came down, preventing her from moving out in time.
