A vehicle overturned on Onsan-ro in Onsan-eup, Ulju-gun, Ulsan at around 2:08 p.m. on the 7th.
According to the Ulsan Fire Department, a female passenger in her 40s sustained serious injuries in the accident. The injured person received first aid from a dispatched 119 paramedic team and was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Police believe the accident occurred when a truck's cargo pipe protruded from the rear of its cargo bed as the truck was making a U-turn, and a trailing SUV was unable to avoid it in time.
Police are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident, including whether the truck driver had taken proper safety measures to secure the cargo.
