Refused Breath Test After Minor Collision in Yeoksam-dong
Found to Be 'Unlicensed' Driver, Drug Test Negative
Considering Arrest Warrant Application

The Suseo Police Station in Seoul announced on the 14th that they have arrested and are investigating a man in his 30s, Mr. A, on charges of refusing a breathalyzer test after causing a car accident. Mr. A is accused of refusing the police's request for a breathalyzer test (refusal of breathalyzer test under the Road Traffic Act) after hitting a taxi with a Bentley on a road in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, around 9 a.m. that day.

As a result of the accident, a taxi driver in his 50s and a passenger in their 20s sustained minor injuries. The police responded to a report of a "drunk driving vehicle" and were pursuing Mr. A's car. It was found that Mr. A was driving without a license as his license had been canceled. The police also conducted a preliminary drug test, which came back negative. A detailed examination will be requested from the National Forensic Service.

The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident based on witness statements and other evidence. They believe there are signs that Mr. A was driving under the influence, such as the smell of alcohol at the time of the accident. They are also considering applying for an arrest warrant on charges including unlicensed driving and injury under the Special Act on Traffic Accident Handling.
