A large truck is barely stopping in front of the front door of the house.
The wall of the house was shattered.
Today (27th), around 7:10 am, a 4.5 ton truck crashed into a house in Chilsan-dong, Dongnae-gu, Busan.
The vehicle crashed into a residential area 30 meters away and crashed into a wall before stopping.
The truck was loaded with heavy construction equipment, but there was no driver.
[Damaged house resident: Something came like thunder and lightning, but I felt 'Ah, this is a car pushing into my house', so when I came out, the front door didn't open...

A man in his 60s, who was on his way home from exercising in this accident, bumped into a car and was taken to the hospital, but died.
[Accident Witness: When I came out with a bang, there was no one in the steering wheel.
It turned out that Grandpa was pulling people down there and taking them out.]
It is known that truck driver B, in his 50s, parked his car on the street and got out of the car to find a place to park.
During the police investigation, Mr. B is known to have stated that he had an accident while pressing the brake to prevent the car from moving.
However, the police believe that Mr. B did not properly use the safety device and the truck rolled along the downhill road.
[Police official: There is a pedestal that allows the brake to be pressed, not a pedestal that is applied to the wheel.
I did that.]
The police booked Mr. B on a charge of homicide under the Special Act on Traffic Accident Handling and is investigating the exact cause of the accident.
