It has been confirmed that no one was injured on the subway, including passengers or engineers.

About 300 passengers on the train got off at Geumcheon-gu Office Station at around 7:35 a.m., about 50 minutes after the accident and changed to another train.Train operations were once partially delayed as one of the two descending tracks was controlled to deal with the

accident.

The Korea Railroad Corporation and Korail explained that eight high-speed trains, nine regular trains, and 20 electric trains were delayed by about 10 to 40 minutes due to the accident.

A police investigation confirmed that the man in his 50s who drove the car was not behind the wheel after drinking alcohol.

The driver previously told police that a car accident at a nearby three-way intersection broke the brakes, which was followed by a car that broke through the retaining wall and fell onto the track.
