9 Vehicles Collide in Rear-End Crash on Daegu-Gunwi Expressway; 6 Injured

At around 10:40 a.m. today (August 15), a multi-vehicle rear-end collision involving nine cars occurred at the 47-kilometer mark of the Sangju-Yeongcheon Expressway in the Seoul-bound direction in Hyo-ryeong-myeon, Gunwi-gun, Daegu.

Six people were injured in the accident and transported to nearby hospitals, though none of them are reported to be in life-threatening condition.

Police believe the incident escalated into a multi-vehicle collision when a trailing vehicle crashed into cars that had come to a halt due to traffic congestion.
