After being transported to the hospital in a state of cardiac arrest, Cho’s breathing and pulse returned in about 10 minutes, but it was investigated that he died while receiving treatment without consciousness.

Five people, including 43-year-old Noh, who were involved in the accident, were confirmed to have no life-threatening injuries.
