[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Choyoung] In Seosan, Chungnam, a car driver ran over a pedestrian lying on the road without noticing and passed over her.
According to the Seosan Police Station in Chungnam on the 11th, driver A failed to notice a woman in her 50s, B, who was lying drunk at the intersection of Hosu Park in Galsang-dong, Seosan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, on the afternoon of the 7th, and ran over her lower body.
