the staff member said that at the time of the accident, "a semi-trailer truck braked. it was raining at the time, and the vehicle was going too fast. it was going downhill and hit a curve. in addition, it was a bit slippery due to the rain, and it turned (the curve) a bit too quickly, so it braked and stopped on the highway, blocking the road sideways." the car behind did not brake, and two semi-trailer trucks rear-ended each other and caught fire. "they were loaded with household appliances, medicines and other general merchandise."
