According to Gwangsan Police Station in Gwangju on the 1st, the collision occurred around 10:20 p.m. the previous day at an intersection in Jangdeok-dong, Gwangsan-gu, where a motorcycle traveling straight and an electric scooter crossing the crosswalk collided.

As a result of the accident, the motorcycle driver, Mr. A (in his 20s), suffered a serious head injury and was transported to the hospital; his life is not in danger.

The middle school student, Mr. B, who was riding the electric scooter, also sustained minor injuries and is receiving hospital treatment.
