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

The impacted vehicle spins twice on the road before coming to a stop on the shoulder after crashing into roadside facilities.

Around 2:00 a.m. today, 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.

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

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

The blood alcohol concentration of Driver A, who caused the accident, was at a level subject to license revocation.

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

Due to irresponsible drunk driving, the ordinary commute home of a young man who had lived diligently turned into an irreversible tragedy.

[Shin Seung-bae / Bereaved Family Member: My younger brother has poor health, so he undergoes dialysis during the day and works at a bowling alley at night. He had been working 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 his ailing 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 Driver A, a car dealer, was driving a vehicle for sale while under the influence and violated a signal before causing the accident, and plan to apply for an arrest warrant.
