A first instance verdict has been handed down against a driver who caused a traffic accident by retaliating on a highway in South Korea, resulting in the death of one person. On the 29th, the Ota District Court's Cheonan Branch indicted him on charges including general traffic obstruction resulting in death.
It was announced that defendant A (39) was sentenced to five years in prison. Defendant A caused a quadruple rear-end accident near Bukcheonan IC on the Gyeongbu Expressway towards Seoul at around 5:10 pm on March 24th this year.
. Defendant A became angry at the 1-ton cargo truck that cut in, overtook it and stopped for about 17 seconds. As a result, the following vehicle collided with the vehicle, killing one person and injuring two others.
During a police investigation, defendant A denied the crime, saying, ``I stopped because there was an obstacle on the road.'' Even after being brought to trial, he said, ``I'm angry.''
He claimed that he had no intention of committing a crime. The court said, ``Unable to bear his momentary anger, he drove in retaliation, causing considerable danger to highway traffic and costing the victim his life.
Moreover, he showed no apology or remorse toward the victim, and was only concerned about his own driver's license.''
