The Porsche driver was one of the individuals injured in the collision. The incident occurred around 2:30 PM local time, causing significant delays for commuters.
Road Closure and Environmental Concerns
Authorities closed roadways surrounding Incheon National University due to a significant oil spill resulting from the damaged vehicles.
