Overview
- Bucheon Ojeong Police requested a pretrial detention warrant under the special traffic‑accident law for the driver accused of causing two deaths and 19 injuries.
- Investigators say the vehicle’s pedal recorder indicated the accelerator was pressed, and they suspect pedal misoperation rather than sudden unintended acceleration.
- On-site measurements revised the path to a 1–2 meter reverse followed by about 132 meters forward through a narrow market lane.
- The deceased were women in their 70s, and most of the 19 injured were customers, with several listed as seriously hurt.
- The driver, a man in his 60s who tested negative for alcohol and drugs, has claimed a malfunction and has a reported moyamoya diagnosis, while the truck undergoes forensic analysis and a court hearing is expected Saturday.
