Three people were killed and a dozen wounded by a series of car collisions on the highway in South Gyeongsang Province, police said Sunday.
Car accidents involving chain collisions took place early Sunday at two spots on Gyeongbu Expressway near Daegu, killing three family members and injuring at least 13. Some of the victims were in critical condition.
Five vehicles collided on the southbound track when a 1-ton truck rear-ended a 2.5-ton cargo truck that was changing lanes.
A two-car collision also took place on the northbound lanes of the same highway, wounding four.
The accidents are now under investigation, the police said.
