Yesterday (7th), I was informed that an elementary school student crossing a crosswalk in Changwon, Gyeongnam was hit and killed by a large truck turning right. A similar accident occurred in Incheon this morning. A 9-year-old elementary school student on his way to school was hit by a large truck turning right.

This morning, a road in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon.



As it is school time, the students are also noticeable, but a large truck passes towards the intersection.



Group A, a 9-year-old elementary school student who was crossing a crosswalk with a green light on around 9 this morning, was hit by a 25-ton truck turning right at the intersection.



Group A, who was on the way to school, was taken to the hospital in cardiac arrest, but died.



During the police investigation, the driver stated that he "didn't see the victim."



It is the scene of the accident.



It is a place where there is usually a lot of traffic and a lot of trucks pass by.



[Residents of Kimhan Village: There are usually redeveloped apartments around here, so a lot of trucks pass by. It hurts my heart to be worried again.]



There are only two schools near the intersection.



There are signs for child protection areas in front of and behind the accident site, but the accident site is not the only child protection area.



[Incheon Bupyeong-gu Office Staff: Yes, the accident site is not a child protection area.]



[Police: When it was initially designated, there was an intersection, so I think they set the zone like that.]



Parents asked for a speed bump or designation of a child protection zone, but to no avail.



[Local resident: I filed a complaint because it looked too dangerous in front of me.

It's the point coming out of the tunnel and it's an intersection, so there are no bumps.

I didn't want to see a signal like a traffic light, so I asked them to install it and they said no.] A



similar accident occurred today at an intersection in Sinheung-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon.



A woman in her 70s was crossing a crosswalk at a green light and was hit by a city bus turning right.



Fortunately, the victim's life is not in danger.
