The incident took place at 2:30 PM in the city’s Gyeongandong area. The 18-year-old woman, identified only as “A”, fell from the rooftop of the high-rise commercial building.
Three pedestrians were walking near the building when the fall occurred. The group consisted of a 45-year-old woman, her 11-year-old daughter, and a 23-year-old man.
The 11-year-old girl died instantly from the impact. The young woman who fell and the 45-year-old woman both suffered cardiac arrest and were transported to the hospital in critical condition.
The 23-year-old man sustained injuries to his shoulder and other areas. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.
