"My Child Was Bleeding, Yet They Fled"—Father Shares Update After Catching Hit-and-Run Suspect

"The hit-and-run driver has been caught."

The father of a 9-year-old child who previously posted an appeal for witnesses after a hit-and-run driver struck his child and fled has shared an update that the suspects have finally been apprehended.

The father subsequently shared the story.

It was previously on September 30.

A post appeared on an online community asking for witnesses to a hit-and-run accident that occurred in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju.

The writer stated at the time that an accident occurred where his daughter's tooth was broken and blood was gushing out, but a man and a woman who appeared to be foreigners simply fled the scene.

When the police investigated, the driver of the motorcycle responsible for the accident was identified as a Thai national in his 30s who was staying in the country illegally.

The man, who was already in custody on drug charges, confessed to the hit-and-run charges after police questioning.

In addition, the Thai woman who was a passenger also surrendered to the police.

The child's father bowed his head in gratitude for the interest shown by netizens, noting that since the motorcycle involved was uninsured, there are limits to recovering damages.

He went on to say that after pondering how to repay the kindness, he concluded that donation was the only way, revealing that he donated snacks, drinks, sushi, and other items to an orphanage in Gwangju.

Considering he must have gone through a great deal of emotional distress himself, it is truly heartwarming that he even thought of making a donation.
