As a result of the accident, Mr. A and a man in his 40s passing by the market sustained minor injuries, but their lives are not in danger. Merchant Mr. B (79), who was organizing goods in the store, was injured in the rib area and was transported to the hospital.

A market merchant said, "There was a loud noise like a gas explosion, and when I looked, Mr. A, who was sitting on a chair, was pushed far away."

According to the police investigation, Mr. A was not intoxicated at the time of the accident. Mr. A initially claimed sudden unintended acceleration but later stated that he does not remember and briefly lost consciousness during the accident.

The police said, "This is still an investigation stage before formal charges," and plan to investigate the exact circumstances once Mr. A completes hospital treatment.

Earlier the same day, at around 9:10 a.m., in a parking lot near the north gate of Changwon NC Park in Masanhwoin-gu, Changwon City, an electric passenger car driven by Mr. A (in his 60s) collided with a 39-seat children's school bus going straight at Seokjeongyo Intersection while entering the Samho-ro direction.

As a result of this accident, two people?a bus driver in his 60s and a teacher in his 60s?sustained minor injuries. Fortunately, six children on the bus were reported to be unharmed.

Mr. A told the police that "the vehicle suddenly accelerated" at the time, and the police are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident based on black box footage and other evidence.
