Secondary Accident Occurs on Honam Expressway, Leaving One Seriously Injured

Around 11:10 p.m. on July 6, a 3.9-ton truck crashed into a guardrail near the Yuseong Interchange on the Honam Expressway in the direction of Daejeon due to drowsy driving.

The accident caused traffic congestion in the area as the vehicle came to a stop across the first and second lanes due to the impact. A secondary accident occurred when a following 8.5-ton truck struck a 21-ton truck that had stopped due to the traffic.

As a result of this accident, the driver of the 8.5-ton truck, a man in his 50s, sustained serious injuries and was transported to a hospital for treatment.

The police are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the accident by questioning the drivers involved.
