[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] A used car-related YouTuber found bleeding from the head in an outdoor parking lot on Yeongjongdo Island, Incheon, was investigated to have been involved in an accident while hanging onto the car of an acquaintance with whom she had been drinking.

The Jungbu Police Station in Incheon announced on the 30th that they have booked and are investigating a woman in her 20s, Ms. A, without detention on suspicion of drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act.

Ms. A is accused of drunk driving on the evening of the 26th around 10 p.m. at the Wangsang Marina parking lot in Eulwang-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon, causing injury to Mr. B, a man in his 30s and a YouTuber, who was hanging onto the door of her vehicle. Mr. B was rushed to the hospital and underwent brain surgery but is currently reported to be in critical condition.

A camper who was car camping nearby heard a quarrel, went outside the vehicle, and found Mr. B collapsed, then reported it to the police.

The witness stated that "When Ms. A was about to drive away, Mr. B shouted 'Don't go,' and while holding onto the car door handle, the car started moving, causing him to fall to the ground."

Police investigation revealed that Ms. A and Mr. B had been drinking with two other acquaintances inside a yacht docked at the Wangsang Marina parking lot on the day of the incident. Ms. A said during the police investigation on the 29th, "I don't clearly remember the situation."

Mr. B is a used car-related YouTuber who creates video content containing false listing information. Due to this, there was initially speculation about the possibility of a retaliatory crime.

However, based on parking lot CCTV footage and witness statements, the police judged that there was no possibility of retaliation. They are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the accident and considering whether to add charges of special injury against Ms. A and whether to apply for an arrest warrant.
