The story of a person who received a recommended resignation despite being involved in a traffic accident on their way to work is revealed.

In an episode airing on the 3rd, JTBC's "Han Moon-chul's Black Box Review" (hereinafter "Hanburi") covers a shocking truck ramming incident that struck a pedestrian on their commute.

Footage released in a previously recorded segment shows a horrifying scene in which a truck making a right turn rams directly into a man walking along the edge of an alleyway with no sidewalk. After hitting the man, the truck did not stop immediately but continued moving for a considerable distance before finally coming to a halt.

The whistleblower stated that they were thrown by the impact of the accident and explained, "When I tried to move my legs, I heard a sound from my pelvis and was overcome with extreme pain." The whistleblower revealed that following the accident, they underwent surgery involving the resection of three sections of the small intestine and the insertion of steel pins into the pelvis. After two months of hospitalization and one year of unpaid leave, they were subjected to a recommended resignation, and even three years after the incident, they are still undergoing treatment for aftereffects.

However, shock was caused by the police's announcement that they plan to conclude the case as "no prosecutorial authority" due to "violation of the duty of safe driving," stating that the accident does not fall under one of the 12th major gross negligence cases or a serious injury incident. Furthermore, the whistleblower revealed that they are preparing for litigation after receiving no financial compensation, including a settlement amount, as medical consultation results assessed the disability as "temporary disability." In response, Attorney Han Moon-chul pointed out, "Even if a proper disability assessment is received, it is absurd compared to the damages incurred."

Additionally, an absurd incident was highlighted in which a person who chased a vehicle that cut them off ended up becoming the perpetrator of retaliatory driving. The released footage shows that when the whistleblower honked at a vehicle that dangerously cut in front on a congested road, the other driver responded with a hand gesture insult. The whistleblower stated that they tried to approach to protest, but the other vehicle blocked their path, and subsequently, while chasing the other vehicle, they crossed into another lane and were reported for retaliatory driving. As a result of the investigation confirming retaliatory driving, they received a license suspension and penalty points, and ultimately lost their job, which had been their means of livelihood.
