At around 4:25 PM on the 13th, four vehicles collided in succession at the entrance of the Haman 2 Tunnel on the Namhae Expressway heading towards Busan in Chilwon-eup, Haman-gun, Gyeongnam.

According to the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency Highway Patrol, on the one-way two-lane road at the tunnel entrance, a 1-ton truck following a passenger car that had stopped due to traffic congestion in the first lane rear-ended it, causing a chain collision with a preceding sports utility vehicle (SUV) and a van.

As a result of the accident, three people, including the van driver and passengers, sustained minor injuries and were transported to the hospital.

The accident caused a traffic jam for about 20 minutes over a distance of approximately 1 km behind the scene.

The police are investigating the exact cause of the accident, believing that the truck driver caused the crash due to inattentiveness to the road ahead.
