[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] A woman in her 20s was sent to the prosecution after seriously injuring a YouTuber who creates used car-related content by dragging him while hanging on to a vehicle in an outdoor parking lot on Yeongjongdo, Incheon.

On the 5th, the Jungbu Police Station in Incheon announced that they had sent Ms. A, a woman in her 20s, to the prosecution without detention on charges of drunk driving and special injury under the Road Traffic Act.

Ms. A, around 10 p.m. on the 26th of last month, while intoxicated, drove off with Mr. B, a man in his 30s and a YouTuber, hanging onto the car door handle at the Wangsang Marina parking lot in Eulwang-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon, causing him injury.

At the time, Mr. B was found collapsed on the ground, bleeding from his head after being thrown off. He was transported to the hospital by the 119 emergency medical team and underwent brain surgery. Fortunately, it was reported that he recently regained consciousness.

On the day of the incident, they had been drinking together on a yacht docked at Wangsang Marina with another acquaintance and got into an argument.

It was investigated that Mr. B tried to stop Ms. A from leaving by car, leading to a struggle. Ms. A stated during the police investigation, "I don't clearly remember the situation at that time."

However, the police judged that Ms. A had indirect intent. A police official stated, "There was testimony from acquaintances that Ms. A had not drunk much at the time, and considering that Mr. B was holding onto the car door and there was a sufficient possibility he could be injured, yet she started the car as it was, the special injury charge was also applied."
