[News NIGHT] "I made a sudden acceleration..." After the incident at City Hall Station, the number of claims for sudden acceleration increased.

This is a scene of a reverse driving accident in front of Seoul City Hall Station in July, which is unfortunate to see again.

It was a catastrophe that killed nine people.

At the time, the driver insisted on a sudden acceleration, but the prosecution handed the driver over to trial, saying it was because he had manipulated the accelerator pedal incorrectly based on the results of the National Forensic Service's evaluation.

Recently, it has been revealed that there have been more cases claiming such sudden acceleration.

This is the number of sudden acceleration claims that the National Forensic Service has assessed over the past five years.

It gradually increased, exceeded 100 cases last year, and this year, 114 cases as of last October, which is already higher than last year's total.

, but none of the incidents were recognized as sudden acceleration.

Most of them were confirmed to have misplaced the accelerator pedal, and the rest were cases where the vehicle was damaged a lot, making it impossible to emotion or without an accident recorder.

In addition, nine out of 10 drivers who misstep on the accelerator pedal are in their 60s or older, requiring measures to reduce accidents among elderly drivers.

There is also a controversy over whether EDR, which plays an important role in determining sudden acceleration, can be trusted 100% and its reliability.

While claims of sudden acceleration are increasing, questions remain about accidents that have never been acknowledged.
