Early yesterday morning (September 14) in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, a car driven by a man in his 20s under the influence of alcohol collided with another vehicle traveling straight through an intersection. The crash killed a man in his 30s who was heading home after finishing his night shift.

This is an exclusive report by Jeong Jiyeon.

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

The impacted car spins twice on the road, strikes a roadside structure, and finally comes to a stop on the shoulder.

Around 2:00 a.m. yesterday, at an intersection in Okjeong-dong, Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, a car driven by a man in his 20s, surnamed A, struck a passenger car driving straight.

The force of the impact knocked over 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 screeching scraping sound. I looked straight out the window and saw one car parked sideways 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 victimized car was found in cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital while receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but ultimately passed away.

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

[Shin Seung-bae / Bereaved Family Member: My younger brother had health issues, so he underwent dialysis during the day and worked at a bowling alley at night. He worked to earn his own pocket money, and we never imagined he would get into an accident like this 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. (When I heard the news) I was so stunned...]

Police believe that A, a car dealer, was driving a vehicle for sale while under the influence and violated a signal before causing the crash, and have requested an arrest warrant.
