Over the weekend, a driver fell into the sea and was rescued, and it turns out the reason behind the accident is rather absurd, is that right?

Yes, late Sunday night in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, a driver in their 30s, surnamed A, fled after refusing a breathalyzer test requested by police who had been dispatched following a report suspecting drunk driving.

During this process, a police officer who tried to stop A sustained an injury to their elbow.

A then fled from police pursuit for about 3 kilometers and eventually plunged into the sea along with the vehicle near the Gwangam Port pier.

The Korea Coast Guard, dispatched upon a request from the police, found and rescued A, who was sinking in the water near the vehicle.

Police are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident involving A.
