The Cheongju District Court sentenced A in his 70s to two and a half years in prison for running away after hitting a person who collapsed on the road in a car accident.
The court judged that the defendant could have prevented the accident sufficiently if he had fulfilled his duty of care, and that he also seemed to have recognized that the accident had occurred.
Mr. A is accused of failing to take relief measures after hitting a 50-year-old man who was lying on the road in October last year while driving an SUV on a road in Jeungpyeong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do.
A man in his 50s, who was lying on the road, reportedly had an accident when he collided with another vehicle while riding a bicycle.
