Recently, an elementary school student who was riding a bicycle was hit and killed by a village bus that was turning left, and the fact that the victim's view was blocked by an illegal parking vehicle at the time affected the accident, according to an analysis. According to the JoongAng Ilbo on the 28th, two vehicles were illegally parked on a one-way one-lane road within 7 meters wide in front of the shopping mall in CCTV footage illuminating the street at the time of the accident.
The victim student A, who followed his friend from the shopping mall, dragged his bicycle out of the way and collided with an incoming bus after receiving an unprotected left turn signal.
A police official said, "Illegal parking is serious because the area is narrow in the market and other shopping malls." A fire official said, "I understand that the bicycle came out between illegal parking vehicles even on the day of the accident."
The victim's father said, "If there were no parked vehicles, wouldn't I have avoided the bus or rather fell?" and added, "I've lived in this neighborhood for more than 10 years, and the three-way intersection was always an uneasy road due to a lot of illegal parking and stopping."
