At around 7:40 PM yesterday (October 12), a man in his 80s was struck by an excavator driven by his 50s son, identified as A, in a rice paddy in Yulchon-myeon, Yeosu, South Jeolla Province.
The father sustained severe injuries, including a fractured ankle, and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he ultimately passed away.
Authorities determined that A was moving rice straw for livestock feed at the time of the accident.
Police believe that A failed to see his father while reversing the excavator and are currently investigating the exact circumstances surrounding the incident.
