GOYANG, Jun. 4 (Korea Bizwire) — A cargo truck caught fire on the roads of Sinpyeong-dong in Goyang on June 2, possibly due to a cigarette butt thrown by a careless driver.
The fire completely destroyed the truck’s load of kitchen utensils, resulting in a 15 million won (US$ 13,530) property loss, and was put out by firefighters in an hour.
The truck driver was unharmed, fortunately, as he quickly noticed the fire starting and pulled the truck over.
The police and the fire station in the district started an investigation under speculation that a driver must have inadvertently thrown a cigarette on the truck, as the fire started in the back of the vehicle with the cargo.
