[Video] Late-Night Horror Story? Woman Sprawled in the Middle of the Road

A video showing a woman lying sprawled out in the middle of a late-night road is baffling viewers.

In the footage captured by a vehicle’s black box, the driver recounts narrowly avoiding an accident after spotting the woman lying on the dark road. The video, titled “This woman lying on the road, why on earth is she doing this?” was posted on ‘Han Moon-cheol TV’ on the 13th.

The informant shared their experience during a night shift commute on May 24 last year around 11 p.m. on a road in Dong-gu, Ulsan City.

They explained, “This road has a speed limit of 50 km/h, but at this hour there are no cars, so many vehicles tend to drive over 70 km/h.” They added, “I usually drive safely, so after the light changed I started slowly and was driving at less than 40 km/h.”

While driving, an unidentified object on the road caught their eye. They said, “At first I thought it was a yellow safety fence that had fallen from an apartment construction site, but as I looked closer, it became creepy and I realized it was a person.”

The released black box footage shows a woman in shorts and barefoot lying in the middle of the road with her legs spread apart, gesturing with her hands.

The informant said they honked upon seeing the woman and, trembling, pulled over to the roadside. They recalled, “If I had been inattentive or speeding and just passed by, I probably would have become a criminal,” describing the harrowing moment.

They continued, “She seemed to have been drinking and appeared to be lying down to attempt suicide, but since she failed to achieve her goal, I remember her shouting drunkenly. I’m really angry. What crime did the driver commit?” They expressed regret, saying, “After stopping in the second lane, I should have turned on the hazard lights and called 112 to hand her over to the police, but I didn’t think of that at the time, which I regret.”

Attorney Han Moon-cheol said, “It was a dangerous moment that could have led to a fatal accident, but fortunately the driver did not speed. It was really a close call,” expressing relief.
