On the shoulder of the highway in the pouring rain, an express bus is lying on its side, with the driver's seat broken to the extent that it is unrecognizable.
It was around 8:50 last night when an express bus running from the Jungang Expressway in Jecheon-si, Chungcheongbuk-do to Busan collided with a guard rail and fell sideways as a result of the impact.
It was a single highway bus accident that did not collide with other vehicles.
A man in his 40s, a bus driver, died in the accident.
26 passengers on the bus suffered major and minor injuries and were taken to the hospital for treatment, but no serious injuries were identified.
[Police official: Judging from the fact that they hit the guard rail a lot, the median...
It can only be regarded as an accident caused by rain.]
Yesterday, a heavy rain advisory went into effect in Jecheon about 10 minutes before the accident, and the special warning was upgraded to a heavy rain warning two hours later.
In the process of handling the accident, there was severe congestion on both sides of the highway for about an hour.
The police plan to secure a black box as soon as the day dawns and investigate the exact cause of the accident.
