At around 11:11 a.m. on the 19th, five vehicles, including a dump truck and a trailer, collided at a three-way intersection in front of a gas station near Busan New Port in Seongbuk-dong, Gangseo-gu, Busan. A 1-ton Porter vehicle making a left turn collided with a dump truck going straight, and it is estimated that this dump truck then caused a secondary collision with another dump truck, an Avante, and a trailer vehicle traveling from the opposite direction.

The accident resulted in a total of 8 casualties. A man in his 60s who was in the passenger seat of the Porter vehicle died, and the Porter driver and the dump truck driver were transported to the hospital in a state of cardiac arrest.

The remaining five sustained minor injuries such as bruises on their legs or face and ankle fractures.

The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident.
