Just as vehicles enter an intersection on a green light, a car approaches at high speed from the left and slams directly into the side of another vehicle.

The impacted car spins twice on the road before crashing into a road facility and finally coming to a stop on the roadside.

At around 2:00 a.m. today, at an intersection in Okjeong-dong, Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, a vehicle driven by a man in his 20s, surnamed A, struck a passenger car traveling straight.

The impact of the crash knocked down a road sign and uprooted a tree to the point where its roots were exposed.

[Nearby Resident: There was a loud bang followed by a scraping screeching sound... I looked right out the window and saw one car parked horizontally in front of the traffic light.]

Driver A's blood alcohol concentration at the time of the accident was at the level for license revocation.

The man in his 30s driving the victim vehicle was found in cardiac arrest and rushed to the hospital while receiving CPR, but he ultimately passed away.

Irresponsible drunk driving turned the ordinary commute home of a diligent young man into an irreversible tragedy.

[Shin Seung-bae / Bereaved Family Member: My younger brother wasn't in good health, so he undergoes dialysis during the day and works at a bowling alley at night. He worked to earn his own pocket money, and we never imagined an accident like this would happen on his way home from work.]

[Bowling Alley Owner: Despite being in poor health, he was always diligent and seemed like a friend who tried hard at everything. (Hearing the news) I was so shocked....]

Police believe that A, a car dealer, was driving a vehicle intended for sale while under the influence and violated a signal, and plan to apply for an arrest warrant.
