(Yangpyeong = Yonhap News) Reporter Kwon Jun-woo = At around 5:25 p.m. on the 29th, a Taekwondo gym van carrying three students, including elementary school students, hit a curb and overturned on a road in Jipyeong-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do.
In this accident, the driver, a man in his 60s, was taken to the hospital in cardiac arrest, but died. Two elementary school students and a kindergarten student in the back seat were receiving treatment for minor injuries.
Based on the fact that the van pulled to the right side of the road about 1km before the accident and was unable to drive normally, the police believe that the accident occurred when Mr. A lost consciousness due to a chronic illness and are investigating the exact circumstances.
