In Sang-dong, Mokpo-si, a car with five high school students collided with a car running in the opposite lane.
In this accident, two students and a man in his 40s who called for a substitute driver to return home were killed, and four others, including other students and a substitute driver, were seriously injured.

All the students in the car are minors who are in the second year of high school and cannot obtain a driver's license.
The police are investigating a car rental company as they believe they used the driver's license they picked up on the road to borrow the car.
[Police official: (one car) went normally, and one car crossed the center line and was shocked. If high school students are unlicensed and check (how they rented a car), it will come to a conclusion soon.] In the
past five years from 2015, there have been over 400 cases of accidents while renting a car rental by teenagers without a driver's license.
Eight people died and more than 700 people were injured.
