The road on which the accident occurred is said to be a steep, 300 meter downhill road which curves to the left. The taxi, which was speeding through this pass, crashed through the safety fence and plunged down three meters below. Im testified, "On the way downhill, the engine stuttered and the handle [steering wheel] stopped working."


Police revealed that they are currently investigating the case by studying the surveillance footage in the area.
