An active soccer player fled the scene after causing a traffic accident in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, but was caught by the police.
On the 12th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced that they have booked and are investigating a man in his 30s, Mr. A, on charges including failure to take post-accident measures.
Mr. A is accused of hitting a transformer on the sidewalk with his car and fleeing the scene around 6:06 a.m. in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
