At around 2:18 PM on the 27th, a 25-ton truck that had just finished repairs and was about to depart while stopped on the road in the direction of Changwon in front of Changwon Tunnel, Daecheong-dong, Gimhae, Gyeongnam, rolled backward and collided with five vehicles.

According to the Gimhae Western Police Station, the truck hit five vehicles that were going straight, then collided with the central divider, and due to the impact of the accident, bricks loaded on the truck spilled onto the opposite direction's first lane.

One driver was injured in the accident, and although there was about an hour of traffic congestion due to brick removal and towing of the accident vehicles, traffic is now flowing normally in both directions.

The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident by questioning witnesses and the truck driver.
