An intersection in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

Shortly after the traffic light turned green, a white car sped past vehicles moving straight.

This occurred after it rear-ended a motorcycle driven by a delivery worker in his 50s.

Due to the impact of the crash, the motorcycle rider was thrown onto the sidewalk, while a pedestrian hurriedly scrambled to safety.

This footage captures the moment around 11:40 p.m. when a luxury foreign car driven by a person in their 40s, surnamed A, struck a motorcycle and subsequently collided with two passenger cars and a taxi.

After hitting the motorcycle at this spot, driver A drove another 80 meters or so before finally coming to a stop.

It was determined that the impact of the crash also caused the taxi to slam into a city bus ahead of it.

The male motorcycle rider in his 50s was rushed to the hospital in cardiac arrest but ultimately died.

[Witness: You can only see about half of the motorcycle left on the crosswalk. It's completely smashed. There was no person. But over there in the flower bed, he fell off while heading toward the road....]

Three other individuals, including the taxi driver, a bus passenger, and a pedestrian, were also injured and transported to the hospital.

Police arrested driver A at the scene, and it was found that A was heavily intoxicated, well above the threshold for license revocation.

[Ryu Sung-hyun / Witness: I don't know if they were drunk or on drugs, but they couldn't stand properly and were staggering. It was total chaos.]

Police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for driver A after conducting additional investigations into whether the driver was under the influence of drugs.
