A four-vehicle collision occurred near the Oksan Interchange (IC) on the Gyeongbu Expressway today (the 6th), leaving one truck driver injured.

According to the highway patrol, the accident happened at around 1:30 PM today between the Oksan IC and Oksan Junction (JC), when a 1.5-ton truck rear-ended a passenger car ahead, causing a chain reaction involving two other vehicles further ahead.

The accident resulted in minor leg injuries to the truck driver, a woman in her 60s, who was transported to a hospital.

A police official explained, "The truck driver was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and it appears the accident occurred because she failed to slow down amid heavy traffic congestion."
