Officials at the Jongno Police Station said the 40-year-old man, identified only by his surname, Park, suddenly turned his car toward the embassy gate and rammed into it on Tuesday.
No one was hurt in the incident, although Park had some 20 cans of butane gas in the car, police said.
Investigators said they are trying to find out the exact motive for the crash and plan to have the man take a drug test. (Yonhap)
