SUV Crosses Center Line and Crashes into Motorcycles... One Rider Dead

At around 11:05 a.m. today (October 17), a sports utility vehicle (SUV) collided head-on with two oncoming motorcycles at the Yeowonjae mountain pass in Ibaek-myeon, Namwon, North Jeolla Province.

The crash resulted in the death of the driver of a 1,300cc motorcycle, a man in his 50s, while two others—the driver of another 1,000cc motorcycle and the driver of the SUV—sustained injuries.

Police believe the SUV crossed the center line and struck the motorcycles traveling down the opposite lane, and they are currently investigating the exact cause of the accident.
