consignment vehicle is loaded with five cars and descends the road.
The consignment car, which once staggered while changing lanes, collided with three vehicles waiting for a right turn at the intersection and rushed straight to the crosswalk.
People crossing the road avoid the body of Honbibaeksan.
The consignment car, which could not beat the speed, barely came to a stop only after colliding with cars waiting at a signal in the other lane.
[Woongi Choi / Witness: I heard a 'squeak', so I just looked at it and ran unconditionally. He just came here from behind and he nodded even to the car... .]
