[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] The Jungbu Police Station in Incheon announced on the 17th that it plans to transfer A (33), who was arrested on charges of causing death by dangerous driving under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes, to the prosecution on the morning of the 18th.


A is accused of driving his Mercedes-Benz passenger car under the influence of alcohol around 12:55 a.m. on the 9th on a two-lane one-way road in Eulwang-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon, crossing the center line and hitting B (54), who was riding a chicken delivery motorcycle from the opposite direction, causing B's death.


At the time, A's blood alcohol concentration was found to be over 0.1%, exceeding the license cancellation level (0.08%).



The police applied the so-called 'Yoon Chang-ho Act,' which strengthens punishment for fatal accidents caused by drunk driving, to A and requested an arrest warrant.
