The intersection of Godeok-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul on the 8th of last month.

Choi Mo, a 30-year-old taxi driver, stopped an ambulance by picking up a 79-year-old cancer patient, bumping into a private ambulance on his way to the hospital, handling the accident, and going.


[Choi Mo, Mr. Taxi: I'll be in charge, so I call 119. I am responsible, if I die.] The

ambulance was tied for 10 minutes before the hospital was only 500 meters away, and the patient died about 5 hours after arriving at the hospital.

On the 21st, the court issued a warrant for arrest on the 21st for alleged special assault and interference with work.

The court said, "The charges are called, there is concern about the destruction of evidence and the escape, and the necessity and importance of the arrest are also acknowledged."

Choi responded irritatingly, not apologizing, when he came to court for a warrant.

[Choi Mo, Mr. Taxi: (You said you'd be responsible, but how are you going to do it?) I don't know what you're talking about. (Do you have anything to say to the survivors?) No, what… .]

When I left the courtroom after the midday examination, I just said sorry to the bereaved family.

So far, more than 720,000 people have agreed to posts that punish Choi for posting on the bulletin board of the National Petition at the Blue House.

The police will continue to investigate the alleged negligent death charges against the arrested Choi.
