A man in his 50s, a driver of an accident vehicle, was found to have been intoxicated with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08%, which is the level of license cancellation.
The police arrested Mr. A by applying the'Yoon Chang-ho Act', which strengthened the punishment for the death of drunk driving.
The Yoon Chang-ho Act, which has been in force since June last year, requires punishment for deaths from drinking alcohol for at least three years and up to life imprisonment.
However, deaths from drinking alcohol are continuing without the purpose of the law.
On the 9th, in connection with the case where a man in his 50s who was delivering chicken in Incheon was hit by a drunk driving vehicle and died, the police also filed a passenger in the accident vehicle.
