According to the video, as the trailer entered the highway, the container suddenly fell and slid to the first lane of the road.
A's father hurriedly slowed down, but he could not avoid the container and collided head-on.
It is known that A's father briefly lost consciousness at the scene of the accident and then woke up.
Person A claimed, "The police claimed that the trailer was 100% negligent, but the Cargo Mutual Aid Association to which the trailer driver joined is requesting part of the repair cost, including depreciation."
He added, "My father is in the hospital and the other person has not said a word of apology so far," he added.
Netizens showed reactions such as "I hope your father gets well", "The trailer driver didn't lock the container to prevent his car from overturning", and "Those who don't bind the container should be severely punished."
Meanwhile, according to the Traffic Accident Handling Special Act, if the trailer driver does not properly secure the container, it is a 'violation of cargo fixing measures (falling object accident)', which is 12 major negligence accidents.
In this case, you may be sentenced to up to five years in prison or a fine of up to 20 million won.
In addition, if it falls under 12 gross negligence, even if the driver has insurance, they are subject to criminal punishment, and the driver of the offending vehicle cannot claim the cost of repairing his or her vehicle from the victim.
