At around 10:47 a.m. on the 2nd, a five-vehicle collision occurred on a downhill road near Seokjeon Intersection in Masanhwoin-gu, Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, resulting in five injuries and one death.

According to Masan Eastern Police Station and Changwon Fire Headquarters, a passenger car driven by a woman in her 60s, identified as Ms. A, failed to reduce speed and rear-ended a motorcycle and a sports utility vehicle (SUV) that were stopped at a traffic signal.

As a result, the motorcycle rider was thrown onto the road, and the pushed SUV subsequently collided with a 1-ton truck and a taxi in succession.

Five people, including Ms. A, sustained minor injuries, while the motorcycle rider, a man in his 50s identified as Mr. B, was seriously injured and transported to the hospital. However, Mr. B ultimately passed away that afternoon.

The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident based on nearby CCTV footage, black box data, the vehicle's Event Data Recorder (EDR), and witness statements.
