[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A delivery rider who was riding without a helmet was caught after colliding with a patrol motorcycle while fleeing from a police traffic crackdown.

According to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency and the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul on the 21st, at around 11:40 a.m. that day, an accident occurred on a road in Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, where a delivery rider's motorcycle collided with a traffic patrol motorcycle.

As a result of the accident, delivery rider A injured his hand and was transported to a nearby hospital, but it was reported that there were no serious injuries. Fortunately, the police officer driving the patrol motorcycle was not seriously injured.

At the time, A was riding without a helmet, exceeding the speed limit, crossing the center line, and even using a mobile phone. He ignored the stop signals from the police officers conducting the two-wheeled vehicle crackdown and fled.

The police immediately pursued A using a patrol motorcycle, and after a chase, the two motorcycles collided when A suddenly slowed down.

The police plan to summon A for investigation and then book him on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act.
