Full body burns in their 30s 300m away from the accident point
Officials have launched a joint inspection to determine the cause of the explosion at a liquefied petroleum gas LPG charging station in Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, where five people were seriously injured
Police conducted an on-site inspection with the fire department, the Korea Gas Safety Corporation, the National Forensic Service, and the head of the National Forensic Service at the gas charging station where the explosion occurred from 11 a.m. on the 2nd They are focusing on where and how the gas leaked out and how it led to the fire after the gas leak
Just before the explosion, the charging station is known to have been transferring gas stored in the gas storage tank inside the charging station to the bulk lorry vehicle, so it is expected to focus on the connection between the gas charging act and the gas leak. In particular, as a large amount of gas leaked around the charging station before the explosion, the investigation is focusing on finding out how the leak occurred
About 20 minutes before the actual explosion, 119 and 112 received several reports such as “a lot of gas is leaking at the LPG charging station” or “gas is spreading to the village under the floor.”
Police and others are also conducting an investigation with the possibility that gas may have leaked from storage tanks or bulk lorries due to external shocks Depending on the results of the inspection, it is expected to be revealed whether it is a simple mechanical defect or a person who combines safety insensitivity such as neglect of safety management
The explosion fire at the charging station occurred at 9:03 p.m. on the 1st at an LPG charging station in Jangpyeong-ri, Yongpyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun It was 22 minutes after the fire department reported a leak of gas at 8:41 p.m
In the accident, two truck drivers, Lee 63, and Kang 36, suffered full-body burns, and three others, including two foreigners in their 40s and 70s and a delivery man in his 50s, who were staying at a motel across the street, were slightly injured Police and fire authorities believe Kang, who suffered burns all over his body, was 300 meters away from the accident site and got angry
In addition, 14 houses and 14 vehicles were reported to have suffered damage. 12 people were displaced due to housing damage, and they were evacuated to the Jangpyeong 2-ri village hall and stayed up all night
