Dashcam footage captured in Korea has captured the unsettling sight of a Genesis luxury sedan losing control on the road. The vehicle collides with one car, proceeds to crash into another, and bizarrely continues its erratic path. The chaos only comes to an end when the automobile finally encounters construction debris that causes it to overturn. This accident has sparked numerous questions regarding the circumstances surrounding it.
According to reports from local news sources in Korea, the incident involved a fatigued driver operating a Genesis sedan, likely a a G80 model (though the camera angle makes it difficult to discern, and it might be a G90). Video footage of the collision depicts the car accelerating from behind and subsequently colliding with a Kia sedan in front of it.
The Kia slides left and appears to devour about 50 yards of plastic highway barrier before rolling onto its roof. The Genesis slows for only a moment before continuing its acceleration to the camera car. The two make hard contact and the Genesis is also forced to the left where it nearly flips as it hits the plastic barriers.

Instead, it manages to regain a path inside of what appears to be a construction zone. The car accelerates again and this time hits construction debris in its path. It appears to flip over but there’s so much dust and debris that it’s hard to be sure. Reporting from witnesses at the scene say that the driver evidently asked “What happened?” immediately after the accident.
Truthfully, this incident seems to raise more questions than the video answers. If the person was asleep it would appear that the car must had some sort of cruise control with lane-tracing engaged. Why did that system, if engaged, not immediately turn off after the first accident?
The car also appears to steer back to the right after veering left into the roadwork area. How is that possible if the driver was asleep? And finally, how does someone sleep through any of that? Thankfully, the report from IMNews says that every person involved in these crashes escaped without major injury.
