Mr. A collided with the car in front of him around 6:18 p.m. the previous day near Iljuk IC on the Jungbu Expressway in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province while driving.

The police, who responded to the report, requested voluntary accompaniment to verify Mr. A's possession of a license and illegal stay status, and moved with Mr. A to the Highway Patrol Unit 1st Precinct located in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.
