25t cargo truck, running downhill at a slow speed, collided with a power pole, and then hangs at the end of the road.



Soon after, a sparkling flame erupts, and the cargo truck hits the cars under the road.



Seeing the bright red flames and black smoke, nearby factory workers hurriedly spray water.



This wall, which couldn't beat the weight of a 25t cargo truck going down the ramp, was shattered and the cargo truck crashed 5 meters down.



The accidental cargo truck was on the way to Pohang, loading auto parts from a factory in Maegok Industrial Complex.



The driver escaped on his own before the vehicle crashed and there was no human injury, but one vehicle was burned down and two were damaged in a fire.



[Witness: There were some cars standing here.

So (the cargo truck) went back and forth, and then it fell for a minute or so suddenly (flame) rose.]



In addition, as two telephone poles were damaged, five auto parts factories within a 50m radius suffered power outages.




[Affiliated factory official: I was very surprised because such an accident occurred within only 5 minutes.

There are ten factories, and the damage is enormous.] The



police are investigating the exact details of the accident as the driver was making a right turn on a downhill road due to negligence.
