Accidents that occur while motorcycles are reckless driving on downhill roads, so-called ‘riding holy ground’, continue to occur.

This time, on a downhill road in Daegwallyeong, a motorcycle that was running at high speed flew into the floor of a house.

Reporter Lee Ara covered the story.

A family house next to the downhill road to Daegwallyeong.

The wall is hollowed out.

The entire living room window was blown off, and the inside of the house became a mess as if it had been hit by a bomb.

There is a black motorcycle on the floor.

″Coming in here, I can’t see anything because my chest is tight. Even now, I am so trembling that I can’t even say a word.”

The motorcycle, unable to slow down from the curved road, rushed into the house regarding 100 meters away.

The speed limit on the local road where the accident occurred is 50 km/h.

However, it is known that the motorcyclist ran at high speed and caused the accident because he might not brake on the curved road.

The family, who were out at the time, fortunately escaped serious trouble, and the motorcyclist, who was wearing a helmet and protective gear, was not hurt.

However, the roaring motorbikes and sports cars that make acrobatic driving every day keep the villagers in suspense.

″I can hear the squeaking sound of the brakes…… it seems to be worse than the noise of an airplane, and I am very stressed out.″

In fact, a sports car that slipped on a downhill road last year pushed into the yard of the house.

Daegwallyeong Old Road, the so-called holy place for riding, is a downhill road with 15 km of sharp curves, attracting motorcycles and sports cars.

″This Daegwallyeong Old Road course is moderately difficult and not difficult compared to other courses.″

The Land Management Agency and the Gangneung Police Station announced that they would install guardrails around the village within this year and introduce unmanned enforcement equipment at the rear.
