02:54The driver who was parked there said that he had back pain and sprained his ankle.
02:57I was running there, I think I was running at 30-40kmph.
03:02Suddenly, I felt a bump on my back.
03:05I felt like I was getting stuck. I thought I was stuck in a vehicle.
03:11Then I realized that the motorcycle was pulling me.
03:13I think it was fast.
03:15Because there was no vehicle, why would it bump into me?
03:19According to the victim,
03:21It suddenly bumped into my front.
03:25I couldn't control my speed.
03:28The accident has not been reviewed yet because there is no installed CCTV in the area.
