A man in his 20s was driving drunk in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, and caused a collision, injuring three people and causing traffic congestion on the way to work.

According to the police on the 11th, at 5:37 a.m. on this day, two trucks and two passenger cars collided one after another in the direction of Pangyo near the Songnae Interchange (IC) on the 1st Ring Expressway in Sosa-gu, Bucheon.

Three of the four drivers of the vehicle were injured in this accident and were taken to the hospital by the 119 emergency team for treatment.

In addition, as vehicle traffic was restricted in lanes 3 to 4 of the five lanes each way, severe congestion occurred in a 6km section of the commute.

At the time of the accident, it was found that the compact car driven by Mr. A, who was in his 20s, collided with a passenger car in front, and then two trucks following collided again.

As a result of a breathalyzer test, Mr. A's blood alcohol content was between 0.03% and less than 0.08%, which would result in a license suspension.
