[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] It was revealed belatedly that a woman driver in her 50s hit a man in his 60s and then collided with three vehicles in a row in the parking lot of an apartment in Masanhwoe-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam.
According to Masan Dongbu Police Station on the 27th, at around 9:50 a.m. on the 21st, the female driver hit a handcart that the apartment manager was pushing with her car.
Startled, the woman pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, hitting the manager and then crashing into three vehicles parked in the parking lot.
It was reported that the man was seriously injured in the accident and died while being transported to the hospital.
A police official stated, “Although it was not a case of drunk driving, it was a negligent homicide caused by carelessness,” and emphasized, “Even within apartment complexes where driving speeds are relatively low, caution is necessary as pedestrians can appear unexpectedly.”
