, ‘Yoo drove in the opposite direction while intoxicated on a one-way road near Guro-gu, Seoul around 1:30 a.m. on November 25 last year. At that time, Yoo’s blood alcohol level was 0.113%. Eventually, driving at 94 km/h, Yoo collided with the front bumper of a vehicle driven by a man in his 50s named Oh coming from the opposite direction.’, ‘The victim, Mr. Oh, was transferred to Korea University Guro Hospital immediately after the accident, but he was diagnosed with traumatic amputation of his leg and skull fractures and passed away at around 2:40 a.m.’, ‘In particular, it was revealed that Yoo had a previous record of receiving a fine of 3 million won for drunk driving in 2017.’, ‘In response, the court pointed out, “Before the accident occurred, there were several instances where it was possible to detect abnormalities while driving in the wrong direction and intersecting with oncoming vehicles, but Yoo, intoxicated, failed to notice them.”‘, ‘The court further stated, “Despite a previous record of punishment, Yoo once again drove under the influence of alcohol and ultimately led to the death of the victim, necessitating severe punishment.”‘, “However, it explained the sentencing rationale by considering factors such as the defendant’s acknowledgment of the offense and commitment not to reoffend by selling the vehicle, the absence of previous criminal records beyond one fine, and the victim’s family’s desire not to pursue the punishment of the accused.”, ‘Reporter Yoo Hye-ji: [email protected] / Coverage and Report: [email protected]’, ‘Copyright ⓒ TopStarNews(‘, ‘) All rights reserved.
