There was a report that the car suddenly fell into a puddle while driving on a road under construction by the local government.
It was reported that the cost of repairing the car alone was millions of won, but UBC reporter Kim Ye-eun covered what the accident scene was like and what the local government was in position.
<Reporter> In the
dark of dawn, a round-trip four-lane road between Ulsan and Gyeongju.
The car that swayed left and right with a thump sounded and fell at an angle.
It fell into a pit dug to widen the road.
The taxi driver who suffered the accident had to pay 4 million won for tire and wheel repairs and had to take a week off from work.
[Accident taxi driver: I could not avoid it because the one in the middle looked like a median and the traffic light looked like a straight distance. I followed the directions in the direction to go, but there was a puddle of water. Over there.] The
scene of the accident.
Although the road was dug at the height of my shoulder, there was no proper guide or sign indicating that it was under construction.
However, drivers and nearby residents claim that the sign 150m in front of the accident site induces an accident while guiding vehicles to the three-lane construction section.
[Neighboring residents: For those coming from abroad, the lanes were unclear and dark, so I thought that there would be a lot of accidents.]
However, Ulsan City, which is under construction, insists that there is no problem with safety measures.
[Ulsan Metropolitan City officials: Safety measures are being taken, and (signs) are not indicating to go to the right, but indicating the direction of going straight.
Because the line itself is curved.] A
battle of responsibility continues over whether it is the driver's negligence or lack of safety measures.
