At 7:36 a.m. yesterday (August 24), a ready-mix concrete truck driven by a man in his 60s, Mr. A, plunged off a 7-meter cliff on a side road in Hajeong-myeon, Samcheok, Gangwon Province.

As a result of the accident, Mr. A was transported to a nearby hospital in a state of cardiac arrest and later died.

The accident site was reportedly located near a wind power plant.

Police believe the ready-mix truck slipped down a slope while moving for road construction work and are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident.
