On the 14th, at an intersection in Okjeong-dong, Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, a drunk driver violated a signal and crashed into a vehicle driving straight.

Due to the impact, the victim's vehicle was pushed onto a bicycle path, and the driver in their 30s was transported to the hospital, but ultimately passed away.

At the time of the accident, the perpetrator was driving with a blood alcohol concentration level high enough for license revocation, and the vehicle they were driving was not even insured.

How can accountability be established for a fatal drunk driving accident?
