[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A teenage female minor who drove recklessly with both no license and under the influence of alcohol has aggravated her criminal charges by fleeing during the investigation.

A, who drove in a heavily intoxicated state without a license, fled during the police investigation after claiming she needed to use the restroom following a car collision accident, but was caught again after 8 hours.

On the 23rd, the Busanjin Police Station in Busan apprehended A (17) around 4 a.m. on a road in Busanjin-gu, Busan, after she caused a traffic accident while driving under the influence.

The passenger car driven by A in an intoxicated state collided with passing vehicles and road facilities before coming to a stop.

There were no passengers in the vehicle at the time of the accident. Fortunately, the dangerous accident did not result in any casualties.

At the time of arrest, A’s blood alcohol concentration was at a level warranting license cancellation. The vehicle driven by unlicensed A was a rental car.

The Busanjin Police Station, which took custody of A, conducted an investigation into the circumstances of the drunk driving accident and the rental car lease.

During the investigation, A told the police she wanted to use the restroom and went there.

A fled outside the police station while the officer guarding the restroom entrance was momentarily distracted.

The police used patrol cars to track A and caught her again around 12:25 p.m. that day at a house in Yeonje-gu.

A representative from the Busanjin Police Station said, “Although the officer accompanied her to the restroom, she escaped due to negligence in management. A is currently under investigation for violating the Road Traffic Act due to drunk driving and for fleeing.”
