According to the Jinju Police Station on the 24th, an SUV slipped in the rain and crashed into a guard rail near the Jinju Interchange in the direction of Suncheon, Namhae Expressway, Namhae Expressway, Jeongchon-myeon, Jinju-si, around 11:50 am on the 22nd, according to the Jinju Police Station.

Lee confirmed that the occupant of the accident vehicle suffered minor injuries that did not require on-site first aid.
As soon as Mr. Lee returned and tried to get into his vehicle, a car that was running on the first lane slipped into the rain and hit Mr. Lee.
He was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulances, but eventually died.
The police said, "It is regrettable that Mr. Lee suffered a secondary accident while trying to fulfill his role as a medical professional, looking at the statements of the reporter and eyewitnesses at the scene of the accident."
