At approximately 12:55 p.m. on October 12, a five-vehicle collision occurred near the Jangsu Junction on the Tongyeong-Daejeon Expressway in Jangsu County, North Jeolla Province.
As a result of the accident, two occupants of a passenger car were killed, and 11 others were injured, including three seriously and eight with minor injuries. The injured were transported to nearby hospitals.
The incident reportedly began when an SUV rear-ended a passenger car that was slowing down due to tunnel construction. The impact caused the passenger car to push forward, leading to a chain reaction involving all five vehicles.
Emergency services, police, and the Korea Expressway Corporation deployed 24 vehicles and 58 personnel to manage the scene.
Authorities are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the accident.
