<Anchor> A



man in his 30s, who was driving the car while drunk, collided with two vehicles while driving in the reverse direction in a tunnel.

The drivers of the victims were mother and daughter who worked together and went to work in their own cars, but their 20-year-old daughter died in an accident.



This is KNN reporter Hwang Bo-ram.



<Reporter> This



is the Yangjeong Tunnel in Geoje-si, Gyeongsangnam-do at dawn.



A collision occurred in front of a moving vehicle, and smoke billowed out.



A reverse-driving vehicle driven in a drunken state by a male driver in his 30s collided with two vehicles one after another.




In the accident, a woman in her 20s in the vehicle that collided first died on the spot, and a woman in her 40s in the vehicle that followed was also injured.



The offending vehicle entered the tunnel while driving in the opposite direction, not the lane that normally enters the tunnel.



[Gu Yong-gil / Geoje Police Station Security Traffic Division Manager: When the offending vehicle turned left while intoxicated, he entered using the reverse driving lane and proceeded in the drinking state for about 1.6 km and collided with an oncoming victim...

] The



vehicles in the accident were driven by a mother and daughter on their way home from work.



The 27-year-old Ok Mo, who died, was a kinder daughter than anyone who came down from Seoul to her hometown after the Corona 19 crisis and helped her parents with their shop.



The family members of the bereaved family cannot hide their sorrow over Mr. Ok's unfair death due to drunken driving backwards.



[Daughter's mother (the driver of the victim's vehicle): It was said that the daughter was originally in Seoul and came down to Geoje to help with the work.

As a parent, I am truly sorry that it was an unfortunate accident.

To my daughter.] The



police plan to investigate the exact circumstances of the accident and apply for an arrest warrant as soon as the driver of the assault vehicle, who is seriously injured and is receiving treatment, recovers.
