During the accident, which took place around 10:50 a.m., the 25-ton K200A1 armored vehicle carrying four soldiers was traveling down a road near a magazine inside the 38th Fighter Wing base in the city on South Korea's western coast. The driver, a senior airman, was taken to a nearby hospital in a coma due to head trauma from the accident before being pronounced dead around 4:26 p.m., and a staff sergeant is currently being treated for dizziness at the hospital. The two other soldiers escaped from the vehicle safely, according to the Air Force.
