At around 3:05 a.m. on September 23, a 5.2-ton wing-body cargo truck traveling in the second lane toward Daejeon near the Jigok Interchange (IC) on the Tongyeong-Daejeon Expressway in Jigok-myeon, Hamyang-gun, South Gyeongsang Province, rear-ended a 4.5-ton cargo truck ahead of it.


The driver of the wing-body cargo truck, a man in his 60s identified as Mr. A, was seriously injured and transported to the hospital, but ultimately passed away.



The police suspect that drowsy driving caused the accident and are investigating the exact circumstances.
