21-year-old woman was hit and killed in a rental car driven by an unlicensed high school student in Hwasun, Jeollanam-do on Chuseok.

At the time, it was known that it was an accident caused by an immature high school student, but it turned out that teenagers in this rental car routinely used unlicensed driving, had accidents several times, and SBS newly confirmed the situation related to other crimes.



Reporter Kang Min-woo reports exclusively.

An intersection in Hwasun, Jeollanam-do on the night of the 1st, Chuseok.



A car runs and hits the woman crossing the crossing.



At the site of the accident, the speed limit was only 30 km/h, and there were many cars parked and stopped on both sides of the road, making it difficult to speed up.



In addition, a speed bump was installed right in front of the accident, and despite this, the speed of the accident vehicle at that time exceeded 80 km/h.



The accident killed 21-year-old Ahn Ye-jin, who dreamed of becoming a professional choreographer.



[The late Ahn Ye-jin's bereaved family: I ran so much that I couldn't even remember how I went to the emergency room.

I fell down on the floor and said,'(Doctor), please save our Ye-jin once.'] The



car in the accident was a rental car rented by car sharing, and the driver was 18-year-old high school student A.




Army A, who drove without a license with four classmates on board, escaped 20km to Gwangju and was arrested after surrendering to the police.



These minors rented a car through a broker that lent their name, and it turned out that the crime was not once or twice in the course of tracking the activities of Army B who rented the car in the accident.



[College B/Impersonation victim call: I had an accident the last time, so Avante AD was a scrapped car. At that time, it was a five-fold collision.

I have a hit-and-run criminal record, so if I get caught again, I'll get X.] The



driver of the vehicle in the crash that occurred at an intersection in Hwasun last August was also a group B.



[August traffic accident victim: We are going straight during normal driving, but we are turning right...

.

(When the police came) An accident occurred because he was a minor.

They naturally did that and left.] It means that they regularly



rented a rental car through a broker and drove without a license.



About 10 to 10 people, including Group A and Group B, were often seen in an apartment in Hwasun, and they were driving multiple vehicles.



[Apartment residents: The car was the first time I saw it, and the rental car was ordered.

I'll see you later, two...

.] On the



actual CCTV video secured by SBS, the day that Ye-jin was injured, a scene was taken where the group drove two vehicles in addition to the accident vehicle K5.



There were also testimonies that Army B was involved in other crimes besides driving without a license.



[Internet transaction fraud victim: They showed me a picture of a luxury product.

It means that it makes the price very cheap.

(Money) I put it in.

You are not sending things.

Not only me, but also other people...

.]



[August Traffic Accident Victim: He's working illegally, but earns 2.8 million won a day, so I'll pay you compensation.

(They) launder money...

.]



We cannot rule out the possibility that they were traveling together, committing crimes, and driving without a license in the process.



[The late Ahn Ye-jin's bereaved family: I haven't seen anything.

(At the time of the warrant examination) He looks at us and seems to laugh at us...

.I don't feel guilty even though I commit such a crime because I am a student.]




As many suspicions remain to end with a sad accident brought about by the deviance of teenagers, it seems necessary to investigate various aspects of their past accident history and other suspicions of organized crime.
