Gyeongbuk Gyeongju Police Station began a full-scale investigation into a traffic accident that occurred in a child protection area near the elementary school.

The Gyeongju Police Station calls the reporters and witnesses of the accident today (29th) as a reference to investigate the situation at the time of the accident and what the driver said after the accident.

In addition, on the day of the accident, on the 25th, we will conduct a first investigation of Mr. B of the vehicle driver, and soon we will investigate again.

Mr. B is said to have said "It wasn't an intentional accident" in the first police investigation.

Prior to this, the police organized a joint investigation team into a traffic crime investigation team and a criminal team yesterday, and then investigated the victims of group A.

Group A was said to have stated in the police investigation that it was "to stop at the playground, and the car chased and had an accident."

The police also sent a closed circuit (CC) TV with an accident scene or a black box to the driver of the accident vehicle to the National Institute of Scientific Investigation for vehicle speed analysis.

We are focusing on analyzing whether the accident was intentional or how fast the car was running at the time of the accident.

The accident occurred on the 25th at the Children's Conservation Area near Dongcheon Elementary School in Dongcheon-dong, Gyeongju-si, when a passenger car collided with a bicycle riding a group A.

In this accident, group A is injured in the leg and is being treated in the hospital.

The family in Group A claimed that "A group had an argument with the driver's child at the playground, and Mr. B had been chasing, saying, 'Hit my child and do not apologize.'

A police officer said, "As there was an accident in the child protection area, the driver is a violation of the 'Alienation Act' (Amendment to the Aggravated Punishment Act of Specific Crimes). I will check if there is a law to apply. "
