After the story was shared, various speculations about the accident spread among netizens. Netizen B claimed, "It looks like the Carnival hit the Mercedes-Benz. You can see the rear light of the front car broken and lying on the ground," and added, "It seems the Mercedes-Benz hit the taxi’s rear wheel and bounced up."

Other netizens reacted with comments such as, "The side of the adjacent taxi is intact, so how on earth did this happen?", "Do modern Mercedes-Benz cars have a technology to lift one side?", "Maybe it has a habit of sleeping sideways," "Doing a car circus," and "Maybe the Mercedes-Benz fell from the sky."

Meanwhile, Mannam Plaza rest area, which opened on June 24, 1988, is the first highway rest stop heading toward Busan on the Gyeongbu Expressway. Vehicles entering the Gyeongbu Expressway from the cargo terminal direction can access the rest area directly via a separate side road. Also, by coming down from Yangjae Citizen’s Forest Station to Cheonggyesan-ro and then entering along the river toward the highway side, it is possible to use the rest area even without any vehicles present.
